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.
