Check the back of the fuel bowl at the sensor,don't recall what its called and the base of the fuel pump. Before I did efuel mine was leaking at those 2 spots. Drove me nuts because I replaced all lines and redid the fuel filter housing as well.

Did you replace the crush seals on the heads where the steel lines go into the heads? If you removed those and then reinstalled them without replacing the seals, I would start looking there first.

Well I think it's the bottom fuel line. Because I dried everything up, drove it and the first place it seems to be wet is right below the front of the fuel pump. Not under the bowl, not by the pump banjo bolt. But between the two

Sounds like you found the leak! The only other thing it could be is the pump, but you said you replaced it already. There is a weep hole in the bottom of the pump and that is where they typically leak if they're going to. Guess you know what you need to do.
