Its not leaking gas from the exhaust or the exhaust manifold. Its likely condensation, it might smell like gas but it isn't. Gas can only leak somewhere in the fuel system. Water dripping at from the eaxhaust, condensation, can be normal on start up or when cold. Likely your van is just fine. The only way you would find enough gas in the exhaust for it to be liquid like gasoline is if you had a major miss fire issue or a fuel injector was stuck open which would cause a miss fire. Plus if you had liquid gas going into the exhaust it would over heat the catalytic convertor and cause it to plug.

Default update problem solved

OK I checked the check engine light code came up po 206 open circuit on injector 6 i replace the injector number 6 and problem was still there so i decide to check the fuel injector harness and the harness was bad all wires were peel off i replace it with one that i bought at the junk yard for 20 dollars and problem solve .bjorkmae was right it wasn't fuel leaking it was more like water. and the smell of gas plus white smoke.
