When my explorer is running, it hiss and gas comes out of a tube or something in the far back of the engine. It only does that when there is pressure. Please help on what to do. This is my first that is not a motorcycle and I can't take it to a shop.

Sounds like you need to replace the fuel rail

Can you attach a picture so we can see where the leak is? It doesn't need to be actively leaking, but would help if you could mark up the image and point to the leaking part. It sounds like a leaking fuel line which should be fairly easy to replace or fix.
