Ok, so my m1009 cranks and runs fine until it site for a little while, then it takes a while to start. often ends up running down the batteries before it does. So today after it wouldnt start i crawled around it and found a puddle of fuel underneath, and noticed that it was coming out of a hole. I cant figure out where the leak is. If you look right in the middle of the picture you can see the hole im talking about. Its obviously supposed to be there. Im not even sure what part this is, its right behind the oil pan. pretty steady drip.

I have also notice what seems to be fuel on top of the engine underneath the injector pump, but never could find where it was coming from either. Doesnt seem to be much here though. This wouldnt travel all the way down to that other drip though would it?
Thanks in advance for the help. First time diagnosing fuel issues with a CUCV

The seal on the throttle shaft is going bad. Fuel collects in the valley and runs down the back of the engine. Your fuel lines may also need to be replaced. The seal can be replaced but it may be time to have your injector pump rebuilt. Plan in $400-$500.

The part with the "hole" is the cover for the torque converter.
