90 GT 5speed

Just recently I noticed the smell of raw fuel coming from my car and at first thought I had a fuel line leak. I then let it idle in my driveway after I got off of work and notice its dripping from where I have an exhaust leak.
Its dripping where the driver's side long tube collector connects to the h-pipe. Now what could be causing this to happen? Fuel pressure is at 38 psi with the vacuum line off. Possible cylinder not firing?

Are you sure its not condensation? Your car would be running extremely rich/bad if it had enough unburt fuel to leak

Do you have catalytic convertors

its coming out of the flange before the cats...so that is out of the question. you could possibly have a fouled plug and leaking injector. pull your plugs and check them out

im sayin that it wouldnt be condensation coming out of the header flange. its probably a very rich condition like you said and its gas.

edit: and i was sayin that the cats were out of the question since its leaking before the cats

I was just wondering about the cats, because "if" there was raw fuel coming out it would probably melt them
