    Betcha it is the fuel drain valve leaking. Those things are notorious for that.

    When mind started leaking i wondered about the availability of them. At that time the local Ford truck stealer kept then in stock.

    Get your hand behind that filter bowl and feel around or maybe use a mirror to look. If you decide to change it yourself, while you are standing on your head under the hood it would be a good time to take care of the outdated fuel heater inside the bowl.

    Good luck.
