Crew cleared runway; and Tower informed that there was still a stream of fluid coming from Number 1 Engine. Crew stopped airplane and shutdown Number 1 Engine; and had a visual inspection done by ARFF; who confirmed that there was what appeared to be fuel streaming from the Number 1 Engine pylon area. Crew shut down all engines on taxiway to wait for a tow-in to company ramp. After engine shutdown; crew noted that approximately 3;000 LBS of fuel was unaccounted for.

Nice job with Maintenance and Ramp Tower also. Maintenance confirmed it was a fuel leak in number one motor.
