Leaking Diesel Fuel
Noticed diesel fuel leaking onto the ground while the truck (2002 7.3) was parked and running. I was not far from home so I went straight home. It was dripping a good bit from the driver side of the engine while running.
I could see it dripping with my steering wheel turned all the way to the right, but did not slide up under the truck to be able to see exactly where it was coming from.
Any ideas where it is likely coming from?

The fuel heater on earlier models was known to leak. I had this happen to my 1996 years ago. The fuel heater on my 1996 was located on the driver side of the fuel filter housing. Might be your problem, might not be, but I would start there and check it out.
