i was driving and smelled gas and pulled over. it was leaking (more like little fountains spraying) from the red circle in the pic.

it's really weird, i can shut the car off and then back on and the gas leak stops(along with the water leak) even if i rev it. it usually happens when i'm in 5th cruising.
i also forgot to mention it's a 95 cavy (its in my profile) stock 2200. anyone?
Anyway to make them pics bigger, my eyesight is terrible

That is about the location of #4 injector, maybe one or both of those O-rings went bad and thats why it is leaking.

ok, i'll search the forum to see how to check that. thanks!
ok, i took out injector #4 and checked o-rings. they were fine. i put it back in. i hooked everything back up and started the car. it fixed the leak! i went to the gas station and filled her up, and drove back home. she drove just fine the whole time to the gas station and back home. then i go to start her 30 mins or so after and wont start.... finally got her started, and she was running so rich it looked like the exhaust was a fog machine! engine ran really rough idle and driving. any help? (p.s. i unhooked a lot of things to get to the injector; intake hose, plug wires, throttle cable box thing.) any help would be greatly appreciated. you guys on here are really good at pinpointing problems and being help full in general. all posts and potential flames are welcomed .
ok guys. i think i have my problem figured out, thanks to jbo! i took out my fuel injector #4, put it back and it is now really pouring gas in the cylinder. not misting it at all, just pouring it into the cylinder(and by "it" i mean a whole lot of it). do i need to get a new injector(the #4 is the one doing that and it looks like it was replaced not too long ago) or can i clean/repair the one i have? any thoughts?
Sounds like a stuck injector, your saying when the fuel pump in running the injector is just stuck open and spraying fuel? If so with the engine running tap on it lightly with the back of a screwdriver and replace the fuel filter soon. Sounds like a failed one.
