1996 Cadillac DevilleFuel system

One day I could smell gas fairly strong, and then I stopped at a friends shop, opened the hood and you could see gas spurting out. As I was looking up this part and then spoke with someone that informed me that yes there had been a recall on the fuel rail and that it was closed. Of course I had to park it to keep it from catching on fire.. It's a 1996 cadillac deville and it's in mint condition. I am asking for some help in getting this repaired/replaced.

I had no idea this vehicle was under recall I actually own a 1984 cadillac sedan deville, it had a gas leak which rotted out the timing chain casing, and knocked teeth down into the gear box. I just realized this car was recalled because of the fuel leaks and the rotting parts under the engine compartment. I paid nearly 6,000 in 2004 thinking I was buying a great collector one time previous owner. Then I ended up with a lemon, I stored it cause I see they sell for around 35k fixed up. But I believe this should still be covered under the recall the engine and fuel pump work.
