Found leak, Now what?

Well lots of posts about fuel leaks and I also have one I noticed that it was leaving a pool of fuel in my drivway and was dripping from where the trany met the motor. So I went to the top side of the motor and it is dripping from the bottom of the water seperator toggle thing on the Left Facing side of the motor. Also leaking from the Red wire with the Rubber "L" boot going into a brass fitting that looks like a knob?? What should I do to aleviate these leaks and is it something that I can do myself. Any pics from someone who has done this or part #'s thank you very much for any help.

The "toggle thing" at the left front is a drain valve. There are three O-rings in that valve, two that seal the valve body to the fuel filter housing and one that seals the valve stem in the valve body.

I bought Viton o-rings due to the heat buildup in the area, that is what has been suggested many times here and elsewhere. They are not that easy to find but I searched and did so with a bit of a drive to buy just two and four (two sets) for mine.

You need a size 013 for the valve stem and two size 202 to seal the valve body to the fuel filter housing.

As for the wire on the side, it sounds like it is the fuel heater wire. I am not sure how that is sealed to the fuel filter housing so I cannot really help with that.

Working on this would probably be easier if you pull the fuel filter housing out (really not that much to it, but you will have trouble with the fuel line that runs from the bottom of the fuel pump to the bottom of the filter housing - be prepared to be patient).
