Fuel leak at front of engine block
Hi Thomas, I'm glad to help! Wow an 87 Dakota, this is taking me way back. Thomas, if you have the engine that has a mechanical fuel pump on it. Then its most likely coming from the weap hole on the side of the fuel pump. Check the fuel line going to the pump if its OK then repalce the fuel pump. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Thomas.
