Ive had the TQG in storage, and noticed today theres a slow leak. (it took a few months to get this saturated) Diesel? And where do I begin the fix . Thanks in advance.
Tough to tell by the pic but the return line to the fuel tank might leak like that...it's a braided line that goes through to the tank held in place by a rubber grommet that can leak as well...a few more pics would help of the actual leak area...unless it's everywhere!

My first guess is the fuel bung, second being the return line passing through the same area... but I would say if it presented over months it might be the fuel bung starting to go (and once it starts, it only speeds up).

Agreed... that is definitely your fuel drain bung ( well nut )
As stated above either get the "Ultimate Well Nut" as described in this forum or replace it with a REAL Viton or Mil-spec. well nut.
Don't get the cheaper Chloroprene 3/8-16 well nut from Hillman or Pop Fasteners, you will be doing the job again next week!
