Holding pattern and engine fire

Assuming for the sake of conversation that you had an unnoticed serious fuel leak while you are on a standard holding pattern. Is there any real possibility of fire due to ingestion of own fuel in the engines? Any incident happened?

What about fuel dumping? I am flying the 320 so no fuel dumping. Are there other standard procedures for operators damping fuel other than entering a holding?
