Check to see if the shrader valve on the fuel test port is leaking. They sometimes come loose and bubble a small amount of fuel.

You have a different motor then me. It should be on one of the two fuel lines that come up on the drivers side under the hood before they enter the plenum. There may or may-not be a screw on plastic cap. Looks kind of bullet shaped if there is no cap. The valve itself looks the same as the airfill on a tire. Check it with the key on. They just kind of seep. Sorry can't help on the fuel lines. Plenty here on them, mostly under fuel pump change. Use the google engine on BF main page.
