serious fuel leak

I have a serious fuel leak coming out where the fuel line meets the fuel tube on my 98 24v. I changed the o-ring on the fuel feed tube and apparently thats not the problem. Could it have something to do with the injector itself? The truck runs fine but its leaking fuel badly. I almost have to prime the motor when it sits for a few hours!

It could be the fuel return line.
That's a pretty common problem.
It gets old and cracked and starts leaking at the rear of the head.
Check numbers 9 & 2

How or what do you do to fix it if it is leaking around #9 fitting. Is there an 'O" ring in those fittings?


thanks.
