The Best 7.3 man you will find anywhere. 80 Miles south of you, you are lucky to be so close to him.

or fix it yourself! i am 99% sure your fuel/water seperator switch seals are leaking. very easy to fix. all needed is a t20 hex.

first off...I unfortunately work on the road and the truck is at home with the wife needing fixed, second the leak seems to be coming from the backside of the filter housing were there is some type of rubber line coming out(i was told this may be a pressure release valve of some sort) thank u for all replys

Your fuel drain valve is leaking. The rubber line connects the fuel bowl to a metal drain tube that runs down and terminates just above your frame rail.
