leaking fuel?

I have a 04.5 3500 Dodge Ram with the 600 series engine. I have about 20000 miles on it. Well I looked under it today and see that the oil pan has a wet spot around it. Well I start checking around for an oil leak and can't find anything so I go up top and start looking around and see that some of the wires plug into the engine have a wet spot around them so I figured out that it is diesel fuel. I really don't know much about these engines at all but the truck is still under warranty so it is going in tomorrow. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem with the fuel leaking. Is it an injecter that is leaking or could it been the fuel line. Also should I worry much about this or is it just a common problem?

Thanks it has kinda got me a little wigged out because I need this truck this weekend to go on a little adventure so i'm hoping it is kinda small so the dealer can fix it tomorrow and have the truck ready for me tomorrow night.

they said that the fuel pressure sensor was leaking. It's starting to **** me off though. It's the 3rd day it's been in there and I called them today and they said that they got the part but didn't have time to put it on. When realisticly they had 3 hours to put it on. You would think they would be a little better with a customer that's all ready bought two trucks from them and will probably be back agian but I'm thinking I might try another dealer. I bet if it was their truck they would of had it done.
