The only thing I could think of is making sure it's not leaking from:

1. the fuel filter cap.
2. Follow the fule lines from the fuel filter housing
3. The fuel line leading from the fuel tank/pump to the fuel bowl

First when the engine is cold I would spray some simple green and wash the engine off so you can see where the leaks are starting from

Some of the spots can be hard to see, I used a clean paper towel to wipe the fuel fittings and see if any diesel fuel was leaking when I did the reg return.
