im leaking fuel from above the heater element that sets above the fuel filter has anyone removed this heater before. the only thing i see that holds it on is the shaft that the filter attaches to and it is slotted i just dont want to torque on something if there is more to the removal. thanks chris 95 w250 4x4 extended cab 06 3500 4x4 4 door long bed.... .

i would suspect water pump. theres a weep hole in the bottom of the pump. look at the bottom of the pump to see if thats where its coming from. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. hi ive a 03 dakota 3.9 w/ 52k miles on it. im finding drops of coolant under the front of the engine on the garage floor and elsewhere. i looked up under the engine and found this http//home.mchsi.com/mh2800/af.jpg oil is clean a/f is not noticeably down yet. it looks like the long life dodge orange coolant the flash kind of intensified it a bit. as you can see there are a couple of small drops on the transmission cooler lines some dried blow-back on the pan and a little showing on the steering rack and front framt crossmember. streaks on the balancer as you can see. i looked up and saw a wet patch on the bottom of the waterpump although i cant see the weep hole. so... it appears to me either the water pump gasket the weep hole or the bypass hose appears to be dry as do the input and output hoses and the tstat gasket. thoughts are appreciated .
