New with fuel leak problem
I have a 95 Ram 2500HD 4x4 club cab Laramie SLT with 5.9L Cumminings. I have a fuel leak coming somewhere around fuel separator or possibly the fuel inlet connection. I assume its a fuel line needing replacement. The engine will start after steady cranking, then fuel immediately starts dripping. From exactly where is the main question. Secondly, how difficult is changing a line? Third, is it safe to drive 5 miles to the nearest mechanic?

There is kind of a known problem that may be where your leak is coming from.
There is a heater element on top of the filter head...there's 2 wires coming out of it. A lot of times when a leak occurs, it's right at the seal of the heater element.
You used to be able to buy just the heater element, but the part has been discontinued and you have to buy the whole filter head.
Rarely does the leak develop at the fuel line banjo bolt itself.

on the 95 the filter should screw directly on the head, there is a gasket there and also the water drain on the filter could be leaking too
i believe you are thinking about the first gen filters, thats where they were, but in 94 they moved the heater to the side of the block, just forward of the lift pump, and also put a pre screen in there which the bottom spins off to get to it, and is well known for leaks and pluging up
