fuel leak

SO I just picked up my first diesel, a 97 F-250 with a 7.3. I love the truck but it has a fuel leak. I thaught it was just the fuel water seperator so I replaced the valve, but it is still leaking. The thing that is frustrating me is the valley is filling with fuel, but I cant see where it is leaking from. Any ideas?

Check the lift pump and lines down in the valley

Pull the bowl, there are several short pieces of fuel line that have probably cracked. IIRC they are 5/16 and 3/8 ID.

thanks a lot guys, I finally got around to pulling the bowl and it was the rubber lines.
