Fuel Leak Problem SOLVED!
A BIG thanks to all those who pointed me in the right direction on solving my fuel leak problem.
It was, indeed, the fuel bowl drain o-rings which I replaced. I also replaced the o-ring in the fuel heater electrical connection which is right next to the drain valve.
Got my kit from DieselOrings.com
A word to those who will attempt this repair:
Unhook the ground on the batteries and disconnect all the cables and wires that are around the fuel drain valve so that you will have room to work. Also, make sure that you have a magnet pick-up tool. Trust me, you WILL need it. I have one that also has a little LED light on the end of it which made the job very easy to complete.
