When I went out after parking the truck, found what might be about 4 oz of diesel fuel puddle stain on the cement in front of firewall,passenger side! Can't find any fuel above the "spot" on the under side of the truck. Fuel filter replaced 5K ago, and just back from a Colorado trip - alot of rocky roads while there. Thanks!:rolleyes:

No leaks here, but certainly suspect your bleeder valve at the bottom of the fuel filter. Wipe under the filter with a paper towel and see if you find and wet spots.

Sounds like the fuel filter or the "water-in-fuel" sensor is leaking. The sensor on my truck came loose awhile ago, I found out because the truck wouldn't start.

From the passenger firewall?? Sure it is diesel? Could be from the evaporator for the A/C it has a drain there...

Thanks for the suggestion - it left a slippery feel and had the smell of fuel. Appreciate you're taking the time to message me.
