The adapter is an ORB (O-ring Boss) fitting, so if it's leaking where the adapter screws into the pump and not where the line attaches to the fitting, you likely have a bad O-ring. You can read about those fittings on Bob Riley's site. Here's a link to the .pdf -- look at the bottom of page 4:

When you get it apart, clean the fitting and the thread boss in the pump real good with some brake clean or something similar. when its dry, reassemble the fitting using a small amount of RED loctite. These are o-ring fittings, tight is tight. horsing them on won't do anything more than possibly strip out the housing. And Oh boy it does make a mess. I blew one of these running down the freeway just north of Denver. lost 7 quarts of oil in about a half a mile.

Sounds like you've blown an o-ring. You'll be out at least a couple of dollars to get this fixed. First, here's a link where you can buy the proper type o-rings Replacement O-rings for Diesel Engines
Next, with a leak that big, and judging by the location, it sounds like an HPOP line, end plug, or possibly the so called non-serviceable plug. Step one will be to clean things up so you can determine where exactly the leak is coming from. Some simple green and water from the garden hose will go a long way here.
A leak under the fuel filter sounds like it's HPOP related. That's the High Pressure Oil Pump that basically sits just below and forward of the fuel filter. The most common leaks there are from the high pressure lines (one goes to each head labeled outlet fittings) or the end plug. After you clean things up, an inspection mirror will help some, and maybe sticking a white rag under there to help pinpoint the source of the leak. Once you know which spot is leaking, we can walk you through the repair procedure.

I have a huge leak at the plug in this picture. Is this the "non serviceable" plug, because it looks different than Izzy's. Does anyone know if this plug can be removed in the truck? This is a van, so I can see it from the dog house in the cab, but I have no clue how I would get the hpop out.
