Diesel fuel does not evaporate quickly like gas so any leak should be easy to see. Check the tanks and lines from the tanks, including the fill pipes.
Check also that diesel is not showing on the engine oil dipstick (bad lift pump).
Make sure that it is not just a gauge problem instead of a leak.
Also could someone be stealing the fuel?

The fix for a pickup using that much fuel with no visible leak comes in several different guages and calibers, many work equally well.
