It's coming from the right side..in front of the rear wheel..never happened before. I couldn't find exactly where it was coming from. It started out as a lot with a solid stream with a fat puddle but now it's a drip every so often..what is it? I tried lookin but I couldnt find anything

Kind of hard to tell you what it is without seeing it. Here's a crazy idea though, look under the car and find the wet spot. If I had to guess I'd say it's the rubber filler hose to the tank. -
The fuel filter is there, check if a hose came off or is loose.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Opps, my bad, just realized you said 'Right' side, this could be as others have said either the tank seal at the top of the tank, probably leaked worse after a fuel tank and now is just a dribble with a lower fuel level in the tank as it is splashing up to the seal while driving. Could also be the tank filler hose but this will tend to be a steady leak until the tank goes below half full.
Filler Pipe hose #16131178336
Fuel pump O-Ring #16111744369
As a note you should replace the other hoses mentioned below at the same time so you eliminate potential future leakage.
The 2 pre-molded hoses at the filter are 20+ years old, cracked, dried out and leaking.
I have fixed several of these recently.
Parts #9 (16121180399) and #13 (16121180398)

Also do not try to use standard fuel line as it will just kink and restrict fuel flow.
You can get the proper hoses from just about any online retailer. Blunt Tech seems to be very popular with members here.
Note: These hoses are assuming you have a late model after 9/87.Last edited by RobertC; 10-26-2011, 09:32 AM.Comment
