I have a constant small leak problem just behind the fuel filter. The fuel leaks down into the valley and down the back of the block. Check behind the fuel filter and see if it is wet with fuel. Also shine a light into the valley and see if you see fuel laying in there. There is a fix for my problem. There are o rings that leak and need to be replaced. I have dome it twice now. Not much luck in stopping it. It's insured. let it burn

The o-rings on the water drain valve at the rear of the fuel filter housing are prone to failure. Look at the two fuel lines on the passenger side of the housing as well.

it was a line coming off the lower passenger side of the fuel filter. there is a rubber section that connects the fuel filter to a hard line? i put a hose clamp on it and gonna hope for the best.
