What year? If its a S4 there's a fuel pulsation damper that is known to go bad. It's located under the manifold.

Step one: Open hood and check for leak.

The forum is hurting my head this morning...

Check the fuel filter. Under the brake booster fairly low on the firewall. Could have a soft line split/burst down there. Hopefully that's where it is because the other lines are a bit more difficult to see and reach.

Seriously, man. Open the hood and check for a leak, then tell us where it is and we can help you. Maybe.
