the leak was this little piece of hose towards the front of the car, passenger side that comes off the fuel rail. it seems to be leaking intermittently, as i smelled gas, pulled over and the little hose was wet with fuel. then drove it home, no fuel smell, dry when i got home, except a dark spot up against the clamp.

so, i get some new hose and quickly find out that there is no way to get the new hose on there without partially removing the fuel rail. partially removed the fuel rail. get the hose on, put it together. doesn't start. get out of the car. a huge puddle of fuel. start looking at it, realize that the top injector seal at cylinder three must be bad. call around. find seals at the dealership. buy a full set for all four cylinders. tear it back down, but this time i pull the entire rail, which required some wrestling with another fuel hose at the back. i find that the entire top seal is gone, missing, can't find it anywhere, from cylinder three. !WTF! pull the injectors for one and three, replace the top and bottom seals, decide that i don't want to break anything else, so i don't replace the middle seal, they look good. put it back together. it fires right up. i let it run for a bit, no leaks.

PITA,
