Fuel Leaking/Smell in cab

[amievil844]

First off I noticed a faint smell of diesel coming thru the vents about a month ago. It has no gotten worse and smells all the time. Just this week I have noticed that anytime I park there is a small spot of diesel fuel. I cannot seem to find where it is leaking from. It tends to pool up on the power steering pump and then drip down the track bar and etc. Has anybody had this problem? I checked all around the fuel filter and housing and have found nothing. Please help....

well i found my leak today. its on the side of the upper fuel filter housing assembly. there is four screws that hold a plate to the side. the "key hole" shaped seal was leaking. I picked it up at the dealer for $3. i have a PDF file of the parts break down that i can e-mail you if you like just PM me. Im not sure how to post it on here or i would.

I have been getting the same thing for a few days now. I don't see any diesel on the ground or anywhere on the engine. I can only smell it when at an idle. I guess its off to the ford house next week.
