My first one is that my car leaks a blue liquid and just want to know if it could be the transmision fluid? The second is that when ever I turn on my car I have to press the gas to get it started and once I have driving it for a while I can turn it on and of but if I leave it of for about 10 min then when I turn it on it doesnt start unless I hit the gas once and it turns on I was told it might be a fuel injector or the temperature sensor that goes to the ECU?

The blue fluid could be blue antifreeze if that is the kind you have in the vehicle.

With the not starting issue, hook up a fuel pressure test guage and make sure the fuel rail is holing pressure after shut off during the "hot soak"

try this
try turning the key on then off on then off on then off
about 5 times, prime up the line then try to start it, start now?

Try turing the key from the off position to start as fast as you can if the above dont work, does this start?
