Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) fuel leak near fuel filter drain

[JustinLee]

This just started today. Only when the engine is running fuel is leaking from just behind the filter drain hose. Is that a water in fuel drain? Anyway there is about one drop per second. I still need to pull the housing off to inspect is closer. Is this common? Rebuildable? Suggestions?



Thanks

Justin

Is it the filter housing that is leaking? I had a fuel line leak that was in the area behind the vacuum assist which is in the same area as the fuel filter on my truck. I had the line replaced and all is fine now. That happened about 200K.

The first pic shows where it is coming from. Second shows the O-rings that I'm assuming are the culprits. I've already replaced them with some I got from Auto Zone. Still leaking though.

After a closer look , the leak seems to be coming from the top of the drain valve. Tried to replace that O-ring but that didn't help. Time to track down parts.
