Default fuel leak?

I have a 99 F250 SuperDuty that appears to be leaking fuel from the rear main seal. I really need to get her back on the road again for work, but I'm stumped as to what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's probably coming from the fuel bowl, draining into the valley and running off the back of the engine.

Replacing the o-rings isn't a terribly difficult job. Maybe an hour, hour and half if you have all of the tools and the o-ring kits aren't very expensive. I used the kit in the link and haven't had a problem in over a year.
