Default 98' fuel leak

Ready to jack up the car and get started on a leak that has developed since last thursday. Nothing in the engine compartment, seems to be more towards the rear under the driver's side. Only leaks when key is on. I'm suspecting a fuel line/filter connector. How do I find the filter, I believe it's back there on the frame. Any other ideas?

Default Fuel flier location

98 C5 is located inside left frame rail just in front of the drive axle. I removed the left cat back for better clearance. May not have to though. Hope this helps.

Found the filter, turned the key to the on position, leaking like crazy at the connection. Seems like there will be plenty of room to get at it, even with my big ol' meat hooks getting in there.
