Fuel leak...
Well my truck is leaking fuel under the hood. It's not the fuel filter or the injectors/pump. Where ever it's comin from it's hitting the fan/rad area and it's all over the motor. It seems to be coming from behind and to the left of the vac pump (I think that's the vac pump anyways, it's the one below the alt and runs off it). It seems to be coming out of this little weep hole. I just don't know what it's call. Any help?

thats your lift pump (fuel pump) Mike.they generally cost under $50 and it needs to be replaced (it located under the alternator,on the passenger side,and is held to the block via two bolts.)

WARNING
This fuel pump must be installed only at the low position of actuator cam.
If the pump is installed at any other position than low cam, the pump will be ruined, the engine will stall and damage may result.
Incorrect installation will loosen the pivot pin and allows the pin and lever to come out of the pump and drop into the oil pan. This can occur immediately or after several hundred miles. This type of failure is not covered by warranty.
To ensure that the cam is at low position, it is necessary to use a mirror and a remote starter switch. Observe the cam through the mounting port and bump the engine around until a one (1) inch wide machine surface is observed. This is low position of the cam. Now complete normal fuel pump installation.
