Default Fuel Leak!!!

hey guys. So yesterday i had my car running at idle in the driveway for about 5 min and when i came back outside the engine was off and there was a strong smell of gasoline in the air. I tried to start her up but she refused to. I looked under the engine and there was a huge pool of gas. I know there is a recall on the fuel pump but would that cause a leak somewhere around the engine? Possible lines that went bad or maybe injectors? Any help would be great thanks!!

check your fuel lines from the fuel rail going down towards tank

Just curious, how was it cut? It's supposed to be fastened tight to the block. Look around and check if line is fastened secure to prevent vibration w/c causes the break and remedy as needed.
