Default 7.3L diesel fuel leak

slight smell of raw fuel lately. Parked truck ,went in store. Upon return saw fuel running to ground directly below torque converter. Opened hood and saw wet intake manifold. Any ideas as to common point of gross fuel leakage. Due to weather, have not yet attemted to diagnose.

Fuel filter assy is located up top there.It's a good possibility something may have become loose due to the cold weather. Usually a close look with a flashlite will assist in locating the source. You might need to check it with the engine idling. It's not a good idea to let it go since the turbo is also located up there and they get pretty hot.
