I have a T Saratoga SP (S1AD) and have fuel slowly dripping from a drain on the right side bottom of the cowling. The only thing I can find in the manual is a Drain at the bottom of the intake plenum chamber at the bottom of the engine. It is not leaking from the drain on the left side that comes from the fuel injection servo. This is new since I picked up the aircraft from the avionics shop a few days ago. They tried to install a fuel pressure gauge but installed it to the return line (old FF gauge lines). It was removed when I realized the error but I am not sure if this would cause a problem. It is not leaking down the side of the fuel lines, there are no external fuel leaks that I can see. It drips for several minutes after flight.
Does anyone know what this drain is for and what could cause the fuel dripping??

Thanks,
