Two main places for that are the seem on the tank, will rust and leak, or the fuel pipes coming in to the injector rail, right side of the engine at the top, needs the cover off.

Water or fuel? That could also indicate its running rich.

How long you run it for? Not long and that might be residual water in the system.

Did you have a look at the pipes?
