Hey all.....

2002 F350, 7.3 PSD, 4x4, Quad Cab, Auto.....

I definitley have a fuel leak that is a constant drip right at the bell housing.

Before I posted this, I did some searching on this subject first.
I found a couple of posts that mention a possible leak at the fuel filter
drain/ Yellow lever - the O-rings being the culprit.

I looked in this area on my truck.
The "Valley" in the Manifold has some fluid, but not alot.
The Valley looks very deep actually, and it makes me think that I would
see ALOT more fluid puddled up there in order for it to start dripping down the back side of the engine.
I also started the motor and climbed back in there and looked at the
yellow lever and surrounding area and saw no actual leaking while running.

A number of posts mention this being the reason for the leak.
One post mentioned he found the leak coming from a little brass tube that runs along the front part of the engine on the passenger side. It is about 1/4 inch tube and it is obvious that the leak is coming from there.

Is this the same problem/ different location?
Are they related to the same O-rings at the fuel filter junction?

Any help would be greatly appriciated.
I am bound and determined to find it and fix it without having to spend hundreds of dollars at the dealer.

 

It's probably a simple AND cheap fix. Any fluids in the valley eventually
drain out thru the bell housing weep hole. Check your fuel delivery lines to the fuel rails for possible leaking. The connection to the passenger side fuel rail is way back by the downpipe. U need a mechanics mirror to see there. At each fuel rail connection is a check valve. One at the driver side front and the aforementioned area near the DP. Check the fuel feed line to the filter housing and the return line at the fuel filter housing.
