Need some help.

Hi every one i need some help on my 2003 Ford SD Diesel 4x4 it has a fuel leak on it and although i have found the info before on here and i bought my new Viton o rings i can not find any info for fixing the 2003 6.0 only the 7.3 so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

But in order to get more help you are going to have to be a little more specific. Where exactly is the fuel leak?

OK--now my curosity is aroused. Very specifically--where on the passenger side, since the last fuel line stops at the passenger front of the head and all the vehicle fuel lines run along the drivers side frame rail. If it's running down the right rear of the motor it's very possibly the EGR leaking coolant. If you're sure it's fuel then there is a 6mm allen plug in the rear of the head that could be loose, but you'd be spraying fuel, not just leaking it.

I went out and tryed to track down the leak a bit better and i guess it looks like it is driping off the back of the engin so it coulld be coming from anywhere and just following something, i think it was following the stering bar and dripping on the pass side before but now it is going a different way???

As far as being sure if it is diesel or not i just asumed it was because it smells like it and smells when i use my AC and it is blowing the smell inside.
