You might not see a puddle, but look for signs of dampness. A tiny drop of fuel will create a dark smudge in the grime but will create a huge stink.

Examine the fuel return line. These are famous for rusting through and "weeping" long before they leak gas. In particular, look toward the rear where it loops up and over the rear axle. You can replace the entire steel line with Neoprene fuel hose, since that line has no pressure.
