Help!!! 99 F250 SD diesel fuel leak

Fuel is leaking from the drain tube of the fuel filter/water seperator. The drain lever is in the closed position. Fuel filter was changed a month ago. I cycled the drain lever several times, fuel still leaking.

Replace the drain valve assembly, fairly cheap from ford, easy to fix. Most late model 7.3's leaked with age.

That did the trick. Stealership - $75.00
Thanks for your help.
