So I know a bit about these trucks, but I have been fortunate enough not to need to bother with the fuel delivery system. I have a perpetual fuel leak, but it is just a few drips a day, so i have not bothered with it. It collects on the bottom side of the engine along the fuel supply lines just after their bend to parallel the frame back to the tanks. I have looked all over the engine in front and cannot find the leak, I got under to look for it, and my line of sight dies before I find the leak.
Is this common? How do I fix it?

you have to know where the leak is coming from first. Look into the valley of your engine. Is it wet or dry??? If its dry, then it might be a gasket from the HPL at the back of the heads. If the valley is wet, its the fuel pump.

My high pressure lines were the problem fuel was leaking down into the valley and running down the back of the engine, from wherethe lines connect into the heads. iasrap, your fuel lines there in the back of the engine are probably your cause.
Hope this helps a little.
