Default Help with Fuel Leak

Started to notice a small fuel leak from my '01 this week. I pulled out of the garage one morning and saw a puddle of fuel. But the leak stops as soon as the car warms up. I tried to experiment around with it. No leak overnight. Only when the car starts cold. And then no leak after a minute of two of idling.

The position of the leak is on the driver side. Lengthwise, it's behind the front wheel. I searched across the forum. Some people cited the fuel feed hose as the culprit, which does seem to fit the general location of the leak. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. Or any other help or suggestion would be most helpful.

Check the tightness of the fuel line nut where it enters the hose, it is in the location you specified.
