87 RX7 Has raw fuel coming out

Hey everyone quick question.
I started my RX the other day and its been starting fine.
Until yesterday. I think I flooded it. Normal... But still wont start 30 hours later.
I have done everything from taking out the spark plugs etc. but I did notice that there is fuel leaking from under the car right by where the exhaust pipe meets the cat? Is it just that my car is just that flooded or is it something else? If so what and how should I go about fixing this problem??? And help would be great.
Thanks
Brandon

If there's a big fuel leak, you might not even have enough fuel pressure to start the car. Nevermind the fact that you can set the car on fire if you leave it. Fix the leak.

It's possible you have an injector locked open. If the fuel is actually coming from between the turbo and engine through the gasket, then I'm willing to bet that's the case.

But check the pulsation damper first. A leaking damper however will not prevent a car from starting.

All you need to do is replace the offending injector.

How you managed to blow a starter I don't know. The Mazda starters are damn near bulletproof.

Take the pulsation dampner of and replace. While there have the fuel injectors sent out and cleaned. Put back together and put little bit of oil in the rotor housing then fire up. If you have to-- replace the starter and clean the contacts. This all could be done for a for around $200-$400.

You could find a used pulsation dampner pref S5?
