Gas Leak??

On my '85 F150 302FI, I kept smelling gas when I got out of the truck after driving a ways. I finally had a chance to get under it today and the gas is running down the passenger side back of the motor down over the starter housing and dripping off the bottom of the bellhousing.

Its a small drip with a drip about every 15 seconds but I do not feel comfortable about a gas leak. I cannot see where it is coming from and have looked from underneath and from the top. It is pretty congested in that area with the fuel injection manifold and all the other plumbing. I did try just turning the switch to run and see if it would leak but it would not without cranking the motor.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry Guys, I wanted this posted in the '80 - '86 forum
