Fuel leak
 
Noticed this weekend while warming up my truck that it has a pretty fuel leak. It's only leaking when its running so its after the fuel pump was wondering if anyone had ideas. It's dripping down right about the bell housing it actually collects and drips off inspection cover and tranny lines. Gotta clean out the valley its all full of pine needles from the previous owner but it does seem a little damp.

Inspect the fuel bowl carefully. If its further than that, inspect the fuel lines going to the head.

Ya I'm gonna clean it all up tomorrow after work and start looking hard to track anything with a bunch if crap in there.

Shouldn't be hard to find.

Fuel bowl drain is a common place for a leak... Sometimes the bowl actually cracks, sometimes its the fuel lines going to the heads... If you are having a hard time finding it, clean it up real good in there and put some baby powder in the valley then fire it up and follow the wet baby powder...

I had a leak similar to that on my truck and it turned out to be the fuel transfer pump

Mine was leaking from the weep hole in the transfer pump; only leaked at a higher rpm, so I wasn't able to find it until I had someone to run the rpm's up for me.
