    Welcome to BBC!

    There are several possibilities here.... including a flooding VST, leaking fuel line (especially the CROSS LINE between the rails), fuel pressure regulator, injector o-rings, direct injector o-rings, leaking injector, ANY air pressure leak (including regulator), tracker valve, or a substantial misfiring condition that's preventing proper combustion.

    I would STRONGLY recommend you get it back in to the dealer (or another dealer, if necessary). Leaking fuel is not something to be ignored.
