I Give Up: Can't Find Fuel Leak on Right Side of Engine

I have a fuel leak. I have crawled all over this thing and can't find it. The leak is on the right side of the engine. It drips a lot after shut down and drips lightly when running.

The drip is somewhere on the right side of the engine it seems. I can see the drip when I shine a flash light in the space behind the box immediately behind the right battery.

It is dripping from under the header (i think) and is dripping down on the starter.

When I look at the bottom of the engine, the starter is wet with fuel and fuel is also dripping lightly out of a drain hole on the thin metal plate that covers the gap between the transmission and the engine.

I found a small puddle of fuel on the top of the engine just under the fuel filter box (not sure what the right name is) I found two loose fittings there and that seems to have stopped the leak there.

I am very diligent about maintenance and these leaks have just appeared yesterday.

Please tell where to find this leak if you have any ideas.

Thank you.
