fuel filter housing

I think that my fuel filter housing,were the lever is that you drain the bowl is is starting to leak. Has anybody ever had this problem? I have alot of fuel that is puddling up in between the valve covers and that is the only place that it looks like it is coming from. But it just doesnt look like it could be leaking that much. Any ideas of where else it could be coming from or other problems that somebody might have had to make it do this?

What Jim said.

I got my o-ring kit at Replacement O-rings for Diesel Engines

They have instructions with photos on the web site. Make sure you have a magnetic pick-up tool. You WILL drop a screw or two down the black hole onto the engine block..
