Obviously the exhaust manifold is under the engine on the left, so something fell on it, melted, and caught fire. Fuel return line? Good luck!

It is repairable, from what I can see from the topside. It just wasn't what I was planning on having to do. I have yet to dig in deeper to figure out what caused the fire.
