I noticed diesel fuel under the front passenger side when leaving for work recently. I looked under the car and found diesel fuel along the frame on the passenger side. I looked at the fuel filter and other components but couldn't find a leak. Anyone else have an issue like this before? My car is a 2015 Jetta TDI SE

There are just too many to list....
The fuel lines run up the passenger side of the car, and into the unibody rail. You'll need to get the car in the air and remove any shielding to see. Either you crashed/ran over something or a critter chewed a hole in something. I had this happen to a gasser NCS Jetta, mice actually got INSIDE the unibody rail and chewed a hole in the line.
