This is the first time I heard that a leak could come from that plug or whatever it be. Do you know what is for? or is just a plug??.

Maybe you could take some pics of the "hole" and we will see what are you talking about. I think it could be welded anyway.

If it doesn't work let me know I may have something laying around you can have.

that pic looks like what ford calls a "fuel filter header". the dealership wants over $400.00 for a new one. I am needing the little plastic ball that sits behind the orifice vent if anyone knows where i might be able to find one. ford dealership claims that the cant get me just the ball. they want to sell me the whole thing. any ideas would be great!!! thank you.

First thing, WELCOME to FTE the best forum ever.
Second I dont think you could get ONLY the plastic ball, you have to get the whole kit.
