Hi,

If it's leaking on the rear of the engine, it sounds like the fuel supply hose is bad. Also, that would cause the fuel pressure to drop enough to prevent starting.

I attached a pic below and highlighted the fuel supply. Follow that line and see if you can determine where it is leaking.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
