Small Fuel Leak

I have a small fuel leak on my '01 psd. I can smell it in the morning really bad with the heat running in the cab but no drips on the cement. My guess is that it is a really small leak just starting. Are there fuel bowl o rings some where I can replace? I don't know exactly where its leaking yet but It seems to be coming from around the fuel bowl.

Have a look at your up pipes, see if you see and soot around the flanges. IIRC, someone posted the leaking uppipes caused a fuel smell in the cab.

Ok, I'll check the up pipes but don't think that is likly because I have the bellowed pipes. Do you have part numbers for the orings?
