Yes, a problem with the fuel system can cause both engine sputtering and fuel leaks:

Clogged Fuel Injectors: When fuel injectors become clogged, the engine may not receive a consistent fuel flow, leading to misfires, sputtering, and uneven engine performance.
Faulty Fuel Pump: If the fuel pump is malfunctioning, it may not provide enough fuel pressure, causing the engine to sputter, especially during acceleration o r under load. A faulty pump can also cause fuel to leak from the fuel lines.
Damaged Fuel Lines o r Seals: Leaking fuel lines o r seals may cause fuel to escape, leading to fuel puddles under the car and potentially creating a fire hazard. The fuel system pressure can also , resulting in engine sputtering.
Solution:

Have the fuel system checked, including the fuel pump, fuel injectors, and fuel lines.
Replace any damaged components to restore proper fuel delivery and prevent leaks.
Consider using fuel injector cleaner to prevent clogs, and inspect fuel lines for cracks o r leaks.
