Question gas is leaking under car and when I turn car on, it spurts from under hood

Does anyone think that this might just be a fuel line leak? My Lexus is a 1993ES

Fact about our 3VZ-FE setup that you might not know. The fuel system is really easy to test.

You know your air flow meter next to your air filter? With the key in the on position push open the flap inside. your fuel pump will kick on and I believe even your injectors should start cycling. The engine won't start because your dizzy isn't giving any spark.Should be pretty easy to find your leak.
