Dripping fuel at start up

Today when I started my truck it dripped fuel for a few minutes after start, for the first time. It was about 30 degrees and not plugged in. It never happened again when I looked under on the next stop and after that.
It dripped onto the steering cylinder. possibly from the filter, but also could be from a line connector.
Any ideas. Could it be a cold weather phenomenon? It never happened last winter and I drove it in -44.

Thanks,

Check the Drain valve on the filter. You may need to replace the O rings.You can get all you need from Guzzle's site.

Thanks for that Chris. That was one of my suspects as well.

Man, this seems to be a problem right now. I just ordered two sets from RiffRaff. Mine and a buddy from work has this issue. Hoping the o-rings will arrive by weekend. Need to get that kitty litter cleaned up from the driveway before the neighborhood ****'s write me up.
