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?

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.
