Whipple stage 2 fuel leak

[15fuelleak]

2015 mustang gt with gen6 stage 2 whipple installed a few months back and pulling hard, but now extremely strong smell of fuel under the hood, but no obvious signs of leak.

Any tips/tricks to chase this down or things that should not be done on the coyote fuel system?

Dye ok? Pressuring fuel system and spraying soapy water? Smoke?

New to the platform and I appreciate the help.

Is the smell coming from the intake maybe?

I went with pressure/soapy water first, wasn't sure how sensitive the system is to dye (would assume it's ok, but never know with these new cars)

Bubbles were produced on the bottom-side of the fuel rail plug from the whipple supplied fuel rail. Larger red arrow pointing to this in their manual step 78 below. The plug from whipple either came with an o-ring and I failed to remove it or I added an o-ring I wasn't supposed to. The o-ring was split slightly at the bottom where the bubbles were coming from.

I removed the plug and reinstalled without the o-ring. No more bubbles produced while under pressure. Going to let the fuel smell dissipate over the next few days. Unclear if any other leaks exist. Will report back if does
