Diesel leaking bad.............

So i was driving down the road today in my 02 F-350 4x4 PSD and I could smell diesel , so I pulled over to check it out.
I looked under the truck and fuel was pouring out and I mean pouring.
So I quickly unhooked my gooseneck trailer and headed for town. I was 30 miles from anywhere.
It ran OK but I could see the fuel leak on the road.
I got it to the Ford dealer, and they were to busy to look at it so I got it towed 60 miles to the next dealer where it still sits.
Has anyone had anything like this happen before?
A very large volume of fuel and it seems to be coming from the top rear of the motor?
Cant see anything under the hood , but when you look underneath the truck it seems to be coming down the tansmission and bellhousing.

2 orings on the bowl drain valve have been common trouble spots on the 7.3. And yes it will pour out I was leaving a vapor trail on my way to pick up the orings last year.

Is the bowl drain on the rear of the engine?

It is on the back of the fuel filter housing, when it leaks into the valley it will drain down the rear of the engine.
