Ok, so I drove to my friend's place yesterday, and I noticed that there was a puddle under my truck when I parked. He came out and smelled a hint of diesel fuel. We thought it was the power steering, but dont think so anymore. It's dripping from the front passenger side, from a tube hanging down close to the wheel well. It only drips while the truck is running, but continues to drop after it's shut off for a while. We followed the tube to the midline of the block, then up near the power steering, then it disappears.
I haven't been messing around under the hood, so I'm thinking that maybe that tube somehow slipped out of where it belongs or what. Thanks for the help guys!

Mine just started all of a sudden sitting in the driveway. Just got done with it. If you are buying o-rings, buy the whole kit from Clay. It has saved me a TON of time. I tow a bunch and with 150k on the clock, things are starting to pop up almost weekly.

Step back
just my 2 cents, but since i did this, thought i would toss it out. I bumped the lever somehow doing other maintenance on my truck, what was barely a drip turned into a good flow after driving to town, i assume it vibrated open more. Might just need to push the bowl drain lever back, sometimes a person gets lucky and doesnt need parts

Thanks for the warm welcome. It's my first diesel and my first truck, so I'm looking forward to keeping it for a long time. You guys replying so quickly makes me feel great. Looking forward to learning as much as I can, and eventually helping someone out like you guys helped me.
Ordered the parts, $6 is worth it.
