Starting issue and fuel leaking

does anyone know if it's a fuel pump under the rear seats on the driver side? Lifted the back seats and there was gas build up. Also when I have been starting my car after it has sit for a bit it takes a few seconds of starting till it catches. No codes no errors. Is this maybe from the fuel build up? Over the fuel pump I'm guessing? Any help would be nice. Thanks

Could be, as there's a change in pressure in the fuel tank due to the leak. I'd get it checked out soon though.

Make sure you go to the carwash and vacuum up all the gas like this woman did!
