Unhappy help a newbie out

I have a 1994 f350 7.3 that pouring fuel from the right rear side of the engine. I have checked the i.p. and it seems fine some of the injectors on the right side are leaking some but nothing like what is coming from the back of the head area . The truck runs great but is just gushing fuel .

im guessing its leaking down kinda by the starter right? its a drain that lets anything from the intake valley pan drip down. check your return line kit. could be leaking from an injector line, return line or the brass T fitting on the drivers side mounted on the last 2 intake bolts.

Yea, I'd check the return line from the T on the driver's side aft and follow it along, to get that much flow without feeling it in the engine it must be on the return side. You won't get that much flow out of O-rings only.

Someone may correct me on this, but you should have pretty hard starts (lots of cranking) due to air intrusion if you're leaking that much!

Glow plugs don't have O rings.
