If it's on the steering rack on the front of the engine it is coming from the fuel drain on the back of the fuel bowl. I just replaced all the O'Rings in my fuel bowl easy job. or you can just do the ones in the valve. Gizzle has a how to and sells the parts needed on his site. A Curtis

LMAO!!! OK OK Gawd... Can hardly type from laughing at your "Gizzle" posts.

Now as for the fuel leak...Contact GUZZLE. He has a set of orings that he sells that will be for the drain valve on the fuel bowl. Easy fix.
