I've got a 04 SD 6.0 - starts ok - runs rough - like it's missing on a cylinder. After a bit it clears up but theres a fuel smell in the cab and after looking fuel dripping down the rear of the engine on the passenger side. Anyone hve this happen to them?
Truck has 76,725 miles on it - oil has another couple thousand miles before it need changing - both fuel filters were changed at the last oil change - was running fine before this - Changed the ICP back in may. Other then that it's been trouble free. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks ckamp52 for the info - I looked at it tonight and it was a bad filter seal. There was enough fuel it was running to the back on top of the engine down the rear passenger side - got a new seal and it looks as though it's good to go. - (Crossed fingers) Thanks again.
