Pretty sure what you're thinking of was an A330 - fuel was leaking from a heat exchanger IIRC. They shut down the engine, but on the A330 that doesn't close the spar valve and they continued to lose fuel and ended up doing a dead stick landing in the Azores.
767 closes the spar valve when you do a normal shutdown so wouldn't have that issue.
