Fuel Leak

[6.0&7.3pwrstroke]

I can smell diesel on the driver side of my 2003 6.0 no obvious fuel leak any ideas of the source? I'm no mechanic

check all the fitting on the fuel bowl and see if any are wet little leaks can be hard to see, also check the front of the head for a leak by the thermostat

the gaskets on the Fuel Pressure Regulator on top of the motor is a very common leak site. if it's there, you can buy the regulator rebuild kit for about $40 at the ford house and rebuild it. when mine leaked, it was the oring on top of the fuel bowl.

Fuel filter lid, or regulator would be my guess. Also could be the banjo bolt securing the feed line to the cylinder head. A powerful flashlight is your friend here. HTH!

Ever find the leak?

Found the general area. Looks like a pump or line on the lower drivers side of the engine. Truck going in to my mechanic today. He picks at me saying my truck is the college fund for his youngest kid
