Original Note:
A fuel leak from the landing gear is improbable, since the Boeing 777 has no fuel lines routed through the landing gear. The nature of the leak has not been confirmed by United, and claims of a fuel leak are speculation. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/san-francisco-bound-united-flight-out-of-sydney-forced-to-turn-back-due-to-maintenance-issue/ This link contains a diagram of the fuel system. https://www.faa.gov/lessons_learned/transport_airplane/accidents/G-YMMM
