I followed the rubber hose and it goes over the top of the steering rack and then exits into I believe the "tunnel" that goes to the back of the car so where does the other end of the rubber hose connect,in the tunnel?I cleaned the leak several times with a rag and watched and it is definately coming from the crimp,any suggestions welcome.I assume the banjo fitting has copper sealing washers on either side?The car is a 83SC.................thanks.

I think you are talking about line #33 on the drawing below.
Once you get it out, you can take it to a Hydraulic Hose shop and have them crimp on a new rubber hose to your fittings. Be sure you get Fuel Injection Pressure Rated Hose. I think it would cost less than $20 to get repaired. Or you can get an new one from Pelican for $78.50 plus shipping.
As far as how to remove, I can't help you there but I belive there have been several threads on fuel lne replacement in the tunnel that you can search for.
Hope this helps.
