fuel leak help

My 02 has a fuel leak. I can see it sitting on top of the engine. 2 years ago a local diesel shop fixed a leak that was the o rings on the drain valve. Is it possible the same thing is leaking again? Any tricks on how to pin point what is leaking?
I know this will sound odd but i have had some side effects from an eye surgery i had and i just am not seeing as good as normal. I appreciate any help. Joe

If its the fuel bowl, just remove it and rebuild the whole thing. Its easy and dosen't take long. Call Clay or Bob at diesel 0-rings.

Depending on what kind of o-rings the shop used, it could easily be the same drain valve o-rings again. You can replace them yourself with these Replacement O-rings for Ford Diesel Engines
There are instructions on that page with pictures that show you how to change them.
