Engine area gas leak
 

I filled up a full tank of gas recently on my 2004 Cayenne S, drove it for about 11 miles, and began to notice a strong fuel smell. At first I suspected the fuel flange that is near the fuel pump/fuel filter. However upon inspection of the engine bay, I noticed raw fuel near the intake manifolds. Can anyone suggest where this leak may be originating, and what part or gasket I will need to replace? The photos below show the leak seems to be coming from the right side, as the left side intake manifold area is dry.

Check out the article below in case you need to remove the intake manifold and makes sure to check all the seals around the manifold. There is a lot of plastic in the engine bay and something may have cracked from the temps.
