Anyone know why there is fuel leaking from the back of the block on to the bell house and better yet on to the exhaust manifold?

Um, because your truck is trying to kill itself? 


Seriously, are you carbed or injected?

[bluerunner [OP]]

RS- im fuel injected good buddy!

[Rocksurfer]

I would check all your injector lines at the nozels and make sure they are tight, and since you say it seems to be coming from the rear the #4 would be my guess

[bluerunner [OP]]

I havent mucked with them... so they just loosened themselves? I guess I gotta sneek up on them!

[brainlessfool]

or maybe a bad high presser line? just before the motor? or ditto with the return?

[bluerunner [OP]]

i'll do some recon thanks brainless!

Yeah they can loosen a little or the seals get worn sometimes over time and require snugging. The #4 gets the hottest and has the most expansion due to that and may wear harder on that seal.
