Fuel Leak

[pneubs]

I have a severe loss of power in my 85 CUCV and looks like it's the fault of an odd fuel leak. I can't find where the fuel is leaking from but it drips down all over the flywheel cover and even looks like it comes out of a small hole in the bottom of the cover. I have checked all the lines to and from injectors, the fuel pump and IP are too far forward and I don't see anything coming off the fuel filter. Anyone know where I should be looking? Is there a mystery fuel line between the back of the engine and the firewall?

Thanks in advance.

could it be the IP leaking and running back down the manifold and dripping off the back of the engine?

That should have the box filter, and they are prone to cracking and leaking on the backside of them...

Like mentioned before, diesel from an ip or line leak could drip into the engine valley and running backwards. There's a small hole (often blocked by debris) at the rear engine area where the fuel will run down on/in the bellhousing cover.
