Most likely is a return hose. Next most likely is the fuel heater.
Also possible that an injector line is cracking, as mentioned.
Generally they don't crack if all the clamps are in place. I am sure
you have maintained the clamps, So I discount that possibility.
Try holding the throttle so the engine runs around 3000 RPM for a
while. With a warm engine, you might see the leak.
I'd say a fuel line, either hard or rubber cloth covered.
