probably some difference between your '95 and my '88, but i recently had to replace the starter on mine and while underneath the car, guess i bumped the fuel lines a little and they started leaking gas where they run through the rubber gromets. over time, they had rusted inside that rubber piece and my bumping them a little caused them to start leaking. i replaced about 18" of line in that area (rest of the line looked good) and all is well now.
