Fuel leak?

there is liquid dripping from what seems to be a seep hole between back of the engine and the transmission (flywheel, torkque converter cover?), any ideas

Yeah, gotta get on your belly and look towards the back of the valley, I think just behind the plastic cover where the fuel filter is. You should see a banjo union, which I guess goes to the fuel pump. Mine is leaking at the banjo.

could be the banjo fitting, could be the fuel filter housing, could be a rubber or even steel fuel line up there. you wont see anything with the plastic engine cover on.

Take the cover off, get a real good flashlight and an adjustable inspection mirror and see where it's coming from, if it's the weep hole on the fuel pump she's toast and time for a new one, do the hoses at the same time if it's from the edge of the banjo get an 1 1/4" wrench and snug it gently up!!
