7.3 fuel leak
I just acquired a 97 f250 HD with a 7.3 turbo and it has a fuel leak in the motor somewhere. When you shut it off it drips a small spot of fuel. I climbed up and lookes down in the top of the motor and there is fuel puddled up on the intake. Any ideas on what I should look for? I haven't had a chance to really look into it. This is my first diesel. I thought I'd check with you all and see if there was a common weak link.

7.3 fuel leak
They are also known for leaking oil from the turbo pedestal and it puddles up in the valley too. Wouldn't hurt to check that too while you are looking around in there.
Let me know if you want me to move this to either the obs or the 7.3 section(best option).
