Fuel Leak

I have fuel leaking out of a sensor/connector on the top of the motor, just forward of the upper fuel filter, anyone else seen this? Is that a fuel pressure switch of some kind. On my 2011 F250 6.7

Thanks in advance.

might be the rail pressure sensor, could you get a picture of it? I'd be getting that fixed ASAP, before you end up with a fire on your hands

You can see the locations of sensors and more in the 6.7 "Coffee Table Book" here

On yours there are two sensors on the fuel feed line going to the CP4 pump from the fuel filter on the engine. A green fuel fuel temp switch and a black fuel pressure switch. There have been a few posts of one of those leaking on here in the past. They come one the fuel line itself but I think you can purchase them separately also.

I replaced the rail pressure sensor, there as an updated part number, new sensor had a much smaller inlet hole. It took all of 10 minutes to replace, and haven't had any issues since.

I could smell the diesel while driving, opened the hood, and saw the fountain.
