Fuel filter housing leak at wiring? buy whole new?
Noticed a fuel leak... coming from where these red and black wires enter the filter housing.. clean it up, wait 2 seconds and its wet again..
Is this a servicable part or do i need to buy a whole new filter housing ?

had the exact same problem, because its a preshur fitting you cant fix it so yes, not the big problem, they want about $1000 for a new one, very hard to find in junk yards, its cheaper to get a fass with the filter and lift pump then it is to get a new houseing. kind of sucks but ull get rid of that troublesome lift pump that way too...

I've helped a couple guys "fix" that issue. Remove the housing, remove the wiring and plug, clean it up good, and have it plugged and welded. No need for a fuel heater in these parts.

I had the same problem. I removed it and plugged it with JB weld but it still leaked. I replaced it with a Glacier fuel filter & water seperator combo for a couple of hundered bucks. Its easier to change the filters and it flows more fuel.
