I was driving yesterday and stared smeeling fuel really strin in the cab, I pulled over and fuel was pouring out of the passenger front wheel well. When I returned home the fuel was still pouring out and I was unable to visualize where the leak was coming from. I removed the battery holder on the passenger side along with the washer bottle, and AC control air tank, and all that I have been able to see is fuel soaked insulation over the wheel well. On idle the leak seems to stop and is only pouring out during heavy driving. I replaced all of the seals on the fuel bowl a few months ago and put in a new fuel drain valve and seals and no fuel seem to be coming from any of those areas.
Any suggestions?

So it turned out to be a bad fuel injector cup. Apparently the fuel was leaking around the injector and mixing into the cooling system. The fuel I was smelling was actually leaking out of my overflow bottle in my radiator whenever my engine was under load or hot. It ended up being a very costly repair. Now that the injector cups have been replaced on the engine the issue has been resolved.
