So I ran my truck yesterday. Pleased with the tune I have. Went to go rip around at lunch break and I couldnt get it started. Noticed fuel on my hands and dripping under thw chassis. Its an AE 15 motor. Just from observation it would seem the leak is behind the flywheel. Is this typical? What could be leaking? Any help would be nice
 
Yes over time the front bearing wears out and leaking will occur. It will also change you tune to a lean run. Time to rebuild the motor with new bearings.
