4410 Fuel leak

[ducks13]

My 4410 is leaking fuel from above the fuel line where it goes through the sheet metal behind the fuel filter, see picture. From looking at my shop manual it doesn't look like there is anything up there that is a logical leak. The sending unit isn't leaking and none of the fuel lines are either. Does anyone have any experience with a leak here? I'd like to get an idea of where I'm going before I start taking things apart.
Thanks,
John

my guess its leaking at the fitting uphill of the hose. and since the fuel filter is there in front of it the hose is going to the fuel filter.

I'll take another look. I believe I can see all the fuel lines and filter from the bottom of the tank to the injectors. There is a blind spot behind that sheet metal that is hard to get to see what's above it. Perhaps I can take a look with a mirror before I start taking things apart. I was hoping it was a common symptom. I think it has to be the tank itself leaking but I know that would be unusual.
