I replaced the fuel filter in my 6.5 Turbo and now there is fuel leaking from beneath Filter canistor. Anyone else have this problem before? What was solution? Thanks

Is it coming from the seal on the cover? It can be a pain sometimes getting it to seal properly. Then there is the rubber hoses under the filter housing...........

Not the filter cover, have now removed the air horn and intake manifold, the only thing I have found is that the bottom cover on the canistor was slightly loose and there was evidence of fuel. It is like a Mason jar cap. Cannot believe that this is my problem, looking for cracks in fuel lines now. 94 K2500 ext cab 4X4 Silverado Short Bed.

OK, I am sitting here scratching my right ear trying to figure out what WTF/TTT etc means.

I do appreciate the response, I thought the fuel was leaking from the bottom of the filter housing but could not duplicate the leak without the engine running. Will attempt to find replacement parts.
