Default Cant Find Fuel Leak!!!!!

I've been having problems with 1995 7.3 Powerstroke i have been having a bad leak! its leaking from where the starter is mounted on. There's no fuel in the valley, I've checked the fuel line that leads to the back of passenger side head.

It leaks preety good, I could tell by the amount it drips, and is there anything internally that can cause this?

The vibralock fitting I think is what its called could be bad or the fitting itself is loose in the head which is where my leak came from. Installed a 1.0 housing and efuel at the same time and took both fittings out of the head and sealed them with petroleum rated Teflon tape and poof no more leak

Its a quick spool housing sold by riffraff. The hard lines go under the turbo to the fittings on the back of the head into a 90* fitting. I just put new hard lines on and while I had the turbo off I unscrewed the 90* fitting and put petroleum rated Teflon tape on and reinstalled.
