My 1996 Mazda B2300 has developed a fuel leak. It is parked on my fairly steep drive and when I took a quick look under the vehicle I noticed a drip coming from the area just to the rear of the cab and just to the left of the center line. Any advice you can offer to help me diagnose the specific problem and a route to fixing it will be greatly appreciated.

When you turn the key on, the fuel pump will build pressure. That should help you locate the leak. As far as repair, the steel line will need replaced. There isn't another safe way to do it.
