Diesel smell when A/C is on?

Have a diesel smell in the cab when a/c is on, but I turn on the a/c reculation button it goes away. Climbed all over and under truck and no visible leaks.

Cool but confused.

Items replaced :
Heads and studs a year ago
EGR delete same time
Oil cooler. Two weeks ago

Good point. I had a similar situation... I couldn't see a leak but could smell diesel fuel. Once the leak got worse from the pressure spring housing, I could finally see the fuel dripping. Look really good around the housing with the engine running.
