Other Fuel System problem

Purchased and installed oem diesel fuel filter made by mann part wk820/17 or 171103 on October 11, 2022 and drove for 9500 miles. On Jan. 3, 2024 I checked fuel filter as I could smell diesel fuel near the car for the last 2 weeks. Fuel filter heating element/h2o sensor was cracked and seeping fuel once fuel pump was turned on. Unit is available for inspection safety issue-leaking fuel no inspection by police, manufacturer. I did contact rm european auto parts in colorado who sold the part and am waiting to hear back. No warning lamps or cel illuminated, only the smell of fuel with top of filter and engine coated in diesel fuel. (tried to upload photos but "upload files" button just goes blank. ).
