5.9 big block leaking fuel

[clabby]

Was giving my truck a clean and a bit of tlc and I noticed there is fuel all over the engine assuming I have a fuel leak I cleaned it up and ran the engine again and there was more fuel. I cant seem to find where the leak is coming from any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

A couple things to check, the banjo fitting for the fuel line sometimes leaks, also the front bearing on the engine will usually leak a bit of fuel and oil, check the lines as at times they do spring a leak also... and look at the manifold coupler on the exhaust for leaks both at the head and pipe coupler...

Drive it somewhere dusty. Clean oil is close to the source of the leak. Dirty/gritty oil is not near the source, usually.

I found that on a savage, with the pipe hanging out there without much support, that it likes to eat up header gaskets. I but a 1/4" steel bar under mine so it doesn't move or have to hold it's own weight. Have had the same coupler/gasket on the thing for 2+ years.
