Uh oh...

Hey fellas I have a question for you to ponder over. My uncle has a 1995 F-350 4x4 auto PSD w/126K on the clock. He noticed that the truck is leaking raw fuel from somewhere in the engine compartment. It leaked onto the front passenger's side leafsprings and there is also raw fuel in the valley of the engine block. Did a seal or gasket go bad? Hpefully not something associated with the injectors. What's the deal? Thanks in advance for the help!!!

things for you to look at.
fpr and orings
drain valve on filter bowl
fuel pump
hard lines in valley
hard lines to back of each head
fuel bowl and lid
where exactly on the leafs up front of the axle or behind the axle near the firewall?

Hey thanks for the suggestions....My uncle had a Ford mechanic look at it while he was off of the dealer's time. Turns out it was due to the fuel filter being installed faulty, which was my first guess. The guy probably forgot an o-ring or dirt is between the seal perhaps. Thanks for the info though!

I would bet money it's the fuel pump.
