Fuel leak and starting problem

Hey guys I'm new to this site, names Hunter and I have a 91 f-250 7.3
with a fuel leak I replaced the fuel filter and it is still leaking from where the fuel filter screws on to. It's leaking at a spot on the top where a little wire plugs In and I have no idea how to fix if some one could give me some insite so I could get it fixed that would be cool, also in the morning when I try to start it, it will fire up then die and after that happens it takes me at least 10-15 mins to get t started agian but after it's warmed up it will start all day first try...... What's going on here?

Sounds like you may be missing an o-ring. That would explain the cold start issues to.

Sorry;...I read it as if you were saying that the leak happened after replacing the fuel filter.

No you got it right man, I replaced the fuel filter and still have a leak on the top of the metal piece that the fuel filter screws onto, there's a wire that plugs into it and it's leaking
