Fuel Leak

Ive experienced a fuel leak, I've checked all over, and the only thing ive came up with so far, was maybe its coming from the banjo bolt going into the front of the driver side head.. I cant really get to it good enough to tell though.. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Are you sure it's not coming from around the fuel pressure regulator cover on the filter housing?

Copy. There are 2 sealing washers (one on each side) on the banjo fitting. Not that common but possible if it's been apart before.

as far as I know it hasn't been apart, but I've been wrong before... That's only place I can think of that it could be leaking, may have to dig deeper..Not sure why it would start leaking all of the sudden. It has set up for a little while..

87crewdually... Buddy I stand corrected , I looked and looked all over the top of the motor for my leak, with no success, the leak look like it was on the front of the drivers head.. I got fed up with it, and took it to my local diesel shop, and it was confirmed it was the gasket on the fuel regulator, 90.00 dollars and out the door no more leaks for now.. I appreciate your help, next time I'll pay closer attention, and maybe trouble shoot more.. again thanks!!

No sweat here. I'm sure you'll check it closer next time. Being translucent, like coolant, these leaks can be tough to track down sometimes.
