Default Help! Leaking gas!

Filled up my tank yesterday. drove it last night to pickup a friend and had it idling in front of her place. We noticed a smell of gas and i looked under and saw where the tank was wet on the front side and a small drop on the bottom of the tank. Today when i got to my jeep i looked under it and it was dry. then i started it and idled for about 2 min. when i backed out there was a puddle of gas where i was sitting and a trail of drops to from where i had backed out. I drove a different car today.

Any ideas what this could be? it happened so fast, i never noticed it before, and it seems to be getting much worse.

you have a leak in the fuel line coming out of the tank from the pump.
