All your fuel lines are external so finding leaks should be a matter of running the motor and looking and feeling for moisture. Is fuel puddling under the motor? Copper sealing gaskets around banjo fittings should be replaced each time the bolt is loosened when you bleed the system. I keep a dozen on board for this reason. Feed lines to injectors also need to seat securely or fuel can leak. My 3HM had a leak from the filter housing right before the high pressure pump caused by over tightening the cap which cracked the thin aluminum casting. Any little thing can cause a leak.
