'91 Pickup V6 4x4 Fuel Leak

Hey guys,

Been lurking for a while and bought my first truck, a 1991 DLX Reg Cab V6 4x4.

A bunch of things need attention, but the most immediate problem is that it is leaking fuel...from...somewhere...

Here is a picture of what is happening. I can't for the life of me figure out where the leak is coming from...is the fuel line routed through the frame? The only gas I can find is the stuff in the picture.

Sorry for the lame question, any tips would be greatly appreciated, and I'm happy to go take any other pictures that might be useful. Thanks!

Fuel lines are on the back side of the frame. Judging by the rust in the picture, I'd bet the lines and/or filter are starting to rust through.

Thanks for the reply, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

I should have been more clear, but after looking around for quite some time the only place I could see the fuel leaking from is directly from the frame. Here are two more pictures, one on the back side of the frame (is one of these the fuel line?) and one facing backwards towards the fuel tank.

Also, here is a video showing the rate of the leak and where it's coming from:

Thanks again!
