2011 EcoBoost Fuel Leak
I am in need of assistance. A few days ago, I started smelling a strong odor of raw fuel in my cab. Then, the check engine light came on. I investigated the source of the leak, and was able to find a constant drip under the truck, beneath the protective felt cover near the front of the transmission. Pic attached. The P0087 and P00C6 are the codes being thrown, ECU Failure and and Fuel Rail/System Pressure too low. The leak is dripping right between where the transmission meets the engine and I can see bubbling just to the left of where it is dripping. I am no mechanic, but I cannot figure out why there would be fuel there, so I am suspecting that it may be dripping from somewhere up top, but I cant find it. I need suggestions please to point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance.

Pull the dipstick and smell the fuel, does it smell like gas? How full is it?
Look all over the engine for a leak. Top, sides, etc.
You can easily pull off the ecoboost top engine cover to help with your inspection.

I wanted to, but could not locate them. I ended up getting it to the shop today. That is the first thing they are going to look at. Wanted to fix it myself, but I am afraid that I wouldn't have the needed tools.
Thanks for all the assistance.
