2nd time I've noticed fuel leaking from the engine from a hose/pipe leading to it? Also fuel leaking from the fuel filter under the drivers side, we're talking a nice sized puddle. This has only happened 2 times in 3 months? In between theses 'sightings' it's fine with no leaks? What could this be?

Old hoses.

Have you ever replaced? I would highly recommend doing at least the two hoses in the engine bay. There are several small hoses by the fuel filter. Replace with new clamps and filter while you are in there ...cheap insurance.

jase is right, the hoses are old and most likely cracked. I would go through and replace all of them.
