DIESEL GAS IS LEAKING AND DRIPPING FROM OIL PAN AREA

[patcherman]

PLease help, where do you think the leak could be coming from, it is leaking diesel and dripping from the oilpan/tranny area. I figure for sure it is coming from the engine somewhere. PLEASE HELP, I NEED TRUCK FOR WORK BUT AFRAID TO DRIVE

2001 F-250 7.3 power stroke diesel.

Thanks, AL

lets start simple, have you looked under the hood.
is the yellow pet **** closed all the way......the one under the filter bowl
I'll see if I can round up a tech.

I'd look at the back of the fuel filter and also look at the fuel filter while the truck is running.

Likely the Orings have gone bad or the last time you did a filter change you didn't tighten it enough, I've done that before... got fuel everywhere!

[Marty]

Where are you located??!!

Marty I checked his profile, he is in Nevada.

Hey guys, I cant find the location of the fuel filter. My guess is its under towards the firewall because the leak must be `coming from that area to be leaking down by the tranny???

Is it your fuel rail?? We had a diesel leak on our 01 when we bought it and it was up along the rail! Was dripping diesel all over...

the fuel filter is in the middle ontop of the motor there is a cover over it

The most common leak for fuel on these trucks, is the o-rings on the fuel filter housing.
