should just be one canister on top at the front of the valley, there should be 3 or 4 lines that come out the bottom of it and a drain for when you change filters. i dont understand why it would just leak when it is cold either....

as far as I know, there is no place where fuel could leak to the outside of the engine, except where the lines connect to the fuel rails in the heads. I dont know if there is anywhere that fuel could reach the outside of the engine from anywhere else.
