I have diesel leaking down the front of the engine somewhere. Discovered this during the weekend move.:crazy:

I haven't had time to find out where it's coming from or look at it intently but it's towards the front, the firewall and fuel filter are dry, and the d-side front u-bolts are covered in it. The spot is always in that area under it.

My first thought was the filter but that's fine...what am I missing?

Wonderful timing. Seems to be starting a bit harder but overall runs fine and got me over 1500 miles this weekend.
 
Check the fuel return lines that go between the injectors. I have had to replace them a couple times on my truck as the dryrot and crack over time. Easy fix if it is that, simple to check too. Just look while the engine is running to see if they're weeping fuel.

Gotta' be either the return lines, or the actual injector lines on that side. I don't know of anyplace else fuel could be leaking from and getting on that area.
 
Still unpacking from the move but I need to do this soon. Thanks guys.
