Leaking on driver front shock
There appears to be something leaking onto my driver side front shock. The substance can be seen by looking in the wheel well. I think it's diesel fuel but I'm not sure. The vehicle is a 2002 7.3 <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%; color: darkgreen;" id="itxt_nobr_0_0">4x4
</nobr>. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I wonder if the seal has blown on the shock and it's just oil from the shock?
TIA,
Anthony

Let us know what you find !
edit: you fuel lines are along the frame rail there as well... it could be the quick disconnects if it is definitely fuel !

If it is a rupture line that got chaffed, replace with a new one and get a bigger size heater hose of sorts and cut a piece and slit it down the middle and wrap it around the contact part where it rubs, thats what I did, no problems after 4 years, let us know..
