There were some recalls (I think) because of rusting out back there. It might even turn out to be a free fix. Did you search this NG? Try also tegger.com for TSB's and other related stuff.

The low pressure line is most likely right now, as it would leak when the engine is running, but only until dry when engine is not running. Either way, you need to remove the plastic splash shields before you can see things clearly.
