Hello,

The fuel filter is located on the passenger side of the frame rail. It is has a mount that attaches it to the rail. If the mount is not secured the filter can become lose and leak.
If there is rust in the fuel filter change the filter. Then clean the line by applying air pressure in the opposite direction of fuel flow.

Here is a helpful vide of fuel filter replacement:

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
