fuel leak

Watch the oil level and that will tell you if the lift pump is leaking, but there should also be fuel out the weep hole there. Maybe one of the injector caps has a bad o ring or even the injection pump is leaking - there is also a weep hole beneath there. But it sure seems like the lowest point is the problem.
