Check everything from the inlet rubber line to the lift pump (bottom RH front side of engine) all the way around to the return line at the rear of the upper engine LH side.
Remember if you park it facing uphill it will drain the fuel from the IP and make for hard starts.

I had the exact same problem on my truck ('86 F250 4x4). It turns out that one of the metal fuel lines had rubbed against something and caused a pin sized hole. But fuel would only leak when parked down hill. The leak was found on one of the metal lines just after the nylon fuel lines end, and before the hard line goes into a rubber line that leads into the 'old style' water separator. I hope that makes sense. Good luck.
