leaks again

I replaced my fuel pump at the end of july this year, and my truck ran like a champ after that, but 2 days ago I noticed fuel towards the rear of the valley. So I degreased the engine, and let her dry, then stuffed a rag in the valley to finish drying it up. I drove it to work and back (30 miles) and there it was again. I've also noticed at lower rpm's while accelerating it kinda chugs a bit and hesitates. I just changed the oil, checked the FPR screen, and fuel filter is good. Anyone ever heard of a fuel pump going that quickly?

Maybe banjo gasket. try tightening it up. is the leak from the pump itself?
Reclean and get a mirror and flashlight and go to town.

Is it leaking at the pump again? Could be at one of the sensors on the filter canister, happened to me after replacing the pump. Might try snugging the banjo bolt down a bit.

ok, snug I will, leaking to the rear, no fuel sitting towards the front of the valley, just around the fuel pump, and to the rear. it won't leak out of the weep hole unless it's running right? wish I would have invested in one of them 12v Milwaukee flexcams for times like this!
