Fuel Filter Housing Leaking

The real question is where is the leak? Most of us have had to replace the o-rings on the drain valve at least once because they become brittle and begin cracking especially in colder weather.
Look around this site and try to find the parts for what you think is leaking:

Here is instructions for a complete rebuild:

Bob (Guzzle) Replacement O-rings for Ford Diesel Engines was very firm about one of the issues of a leaking 'fuel bowl'.... people put the lid on too tight and it distorts the o-ring. Hence, slight leak, but no spray.
If you have not had a full fuel bowl overhaul, go ahead and do it as o-rings are a 'wear' item.

Once you have identified your fuel leak, then you can fix it. Most likely its the drain valve.
Here is a video on rebuilding the fuel bowl. But if you want, you can do just the drain valve, which is doable with the fuel bowl in the truck.
