Default Gas leak

Good day everyone. I have a 92 vette that is leaking gas. But I cant find it. I see a substantial gasoline leak underneath the front engine bay. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Only a few places it can come from. Fuel rail or injectors.

My bet is one or several of the 29 year old dry rotted O-rings in the fuel rail.
