About a year ago a similar incident happened to me.  I left home and about a
mile away from the house I began to smell gasoline.  I pulled over and
discovered a leak near the fuel line damper you described.  I immediately
went back home and continued my trip in another vehicle.  When I
investigated the leak a day or so later, it wasn't leaking and hasn't leaked
since.  I guess I have a potential fuel leak waiting to happen.  I need to
climb back under the car and do a more thorough check.
