Fuel leakage

My 2000 7.3 just started leaking fuel (a lot) from the exit line that comes off the valve you use to drain water. What's the fix, I now have it capped off.

Yep, what Scott said, and I would like to welcome you the the best Ford Site on the web. I will admit that taking 10 minutes to reply is slow, but then again it is a Saturday night. LOL
