Fuel leak

So I ask the question again - how could fuel possibly be leaking from the pitot -static vents whatever. I saw lots of fuel dripping out of Lightnings aft of the missile pack but never ever forward of that?? I think The SACAA were clutching at straws- Simple fact - Aircraft was overheated on previous sortie/ landing - pipes moved - fuel came out at High pressure - Aircraft caught fire - double Hyd Fail endex- No one seems to ask why he didn't use the emergency canopy jett between the seats or indeed just open the canopy on the left hand side ??
Lightning Mate any clues
