Fuel accumulator on my 79 was bad, it's back in the right rear wheel well. Same issue as yours, easy to start when cold but difficult when warm. Leakage at the accumulator was minimal, there was just a slight hint of moisture up around the top of the accumulator. After removing the bad accumulator, the top half of it was full of gas, so that definitely confirmed it was bad.
The car would pass the fuel pressure bleed down test in the manual even with the bad accumulator, so that threw me off at first, but it was bad enough that it would cause vapor lock on the warm engine.
