Welcome to FTE.
Get on top of the engine and use a flashlight to look down in the valley. Look for pools of fuel. I would start by checking the cap on the fuel filter, then check all the lines coming from the fuel bowl to the heads. Oil/fuel from the top of the engine will drain down the back of the engine and run out of the TC inspection plate. Let us know what you find.

If the fuel lines to the heads or the o-rings in the fuel drain valve are not leaking, also check where the fuel supply and return lines enter the fuel bowl on the drivers side of the fuel bowl.
I had a similar leak with the fuel collecting in the valley and draining out the back of the engine and it turned out to be a small hole in the fuel supply line about 1" from the fuel bowl.
