Diesel smell
When I cold start my 99 F250 7.3L PowerStroke extended cab long bed manual, I get diesel smell in & out of the cab. What is causing it?

Help please!

Before you start it the next time, look underneath to see if you see any drips. Could even be just an old worn out rubber hose/connection somewhere.
