You don't need to remove the turbo to remove the fuel bowl.

I can't tell where it's coming from, so I'm just going to start removing everything to get at the fuel bowl. I have no idea what I'm looking for, any help would be appreciated. RPM, I'm blown away with your generosity, thank you for your offer. However, I have to fix this today. Parents and relatives flying in for a visit Wednesday and I need this van for pick up of people and luggage.
So how did it go? You may be past this point, but I would just remove enough stuff to find out where the fuel is gushing from, and go from there. Don't need to start the engine, key on should do it. I don't think plugging the drain line should cause any problems.

When you get it back together, put a length of hose on the solid drain tube so next time you need to drain the bowl, it wont be all over the front of the engine.
