Unhappy Oil/Fuel Whatever leakage need help.

I was lookin under my truck today to see if I could see what some people were talking about with swaybars and my axle along with lots of other stuff is covered with what looks like oil but smells like diesel fuel. It looks like its coming more out of the non fuel filter side so thats not it. I was also a quart low on oil the other day. Never had that. The top of the motor around the oil cap area had some oil on it but I figured it was from me spilling a little putting it in. Has anyone had any kind of leaking problems? Thanks

did you put your oil filter on? if you rely on someone else, its entirely possible they didnt put it on tight enough. 1 qt low is alot. change your oil and filter and make sure you put the filter on about tight as possible by hand. what are you doing for the break? maybe we can catch up dude!

its not oil it is definately fuel and I thought it was coming from a fittin off my fuel pressure gauge but I looked again today and it cant be. lines above it are wet. I really think its coming from a fitting off of the connector right before it goes into the motor. Ill prob take it to the dealer b/c I dont want them to say I messed with it.

I beat it's coming from the CP3 if it is up front by the swaybar drivers side of the motor.

I have never seen fuel on the ground either but I also park in the yard.

When I was intallin my tst I noticed it, I ran a lot of red fuel in my truck last year as that is all I could buy at school, thats when I started to notice that my relief valve was leakin and I saw a little red stain on my cp3 puttin in the tst.

Have died fuel turned out to be informative for me.
