184k miles. No prior indication of problem. Driver smelled fuel, drove car home 8 miles with fuel leaking. Lost approx 14 gallons. Leak stopped after being parked 10 minutes. Drip appeared to be at front passenger side of engine compartment. Nothing noticeable when hood raised.

Most likely cause? Difficulty/cost to repair? Any assistance appreciated.
