Early this morning (4am) left the car running for few minutes. Upon return smelt the fuel and noticed significant puddle under the car (drivers side) and sure enough it was fuel. It was dark, and couldn't locate where is comming from. Just few minutes ago I check it again and this time there wasn't no leak?! I assume when weather warmed the leak probably sealed itself as materials expended? Making it hard to duplicate and troubleshoot. Any suggestions?

1988... i would highly recommend you replace all fuel and oil lines. My 1985 car here... well.. let us just say i have seen videos of like-cars of near the same age burn to the ground due to aged fuel lines.
The rubber outside hose may look ok, but inside they could be on the verge. Especially while under pressure.
Enjoy the Drive,
