leaking fuel from engine

I think I have my fuel leak fixed. No fresh accumulation that I can see in the engine valley using a flashlight. I degreased my engine and used some non chlorinated brake cleaner to clean a bit around the FSOS and inlet and its still clean and dry. I had a lot of mixed water simple green and oily residue at first then I poured some acetone into the valley using a long funnel so it wouldn't pour over other stuff and that evaporated the fuel, degreaser, water, oil etc.

I probably had some seepage from fuel manager ORing but most probably was coming from hose on IP inlet. Especially after I replaced the Oring and probably pulled some on the inlet hose reinstalling the fuel manager. My truck runs a bit better now and bet it was sucking some air at times plus new filter. I have a fuel pressure guage and the factory LP can drop to dang near zero psi sometimes. I want to upgrade the LP sometime soon.
 
Yes, change the fuel shut off solenoid. The original ones would leak from the top. You can see it while it's running. Air would get in the system leading to hard starts.
