Sprays 'oil?' at startup
I have a '99 F-250 powerstroke 7.3L with 'bout 230,000 miles on it
Often when i start it up (60-70% of the time) it spews fluid (looks like oil) from the right side of the engine compartment. Not sure exactly where from... just see it when I pull away.
My engine oil level doesn't seem to be going down... I've lost enough fluid that i should notice a difference.
This is my first diesel and I don't know much about them. i would appreciate any ideas.

Not sure if it's oil... I'll try to catch some to find out for sure...
The couple of times I've looked for it, there was no leak...

Ok, I got a whiff of it... definately diesel.
I see a puddle of fuel behind/under the filter/separater/valve.
How hard is it to change that valve? How can I be sure that it IS the valve?
