Gas Leak

Not too sure about exactly what I'm trying to explain but here goes!!
I have a small gas leak in the engine compartment. It looks like a plastic clip which has a line running into it, it is then connected to a steel tube of some sort. There are actually two clips connected to it. It sits on the top back of the engine, drivers side. Not sure if it is a fuel rail or what.. so hopefully this becomes clear. I'm trying to find a fuel diagram without any luck. Please help!!

Thanks
Dion

Re: Gas Leak

It is a 97 2.2L. I think it may be the fuel injector that is leaking. Is this a common problem? How difficult to repair?

Thanks
Dion

Re: Gas Leak

I finally got the fuel injector. (They gave me the wrong one the first time). Anyway just a quick question, what size of driver do I need to remove the shield that keeps the injectors in place? I need to buy one and I don't want to have to buy a whole set.

Re: Gas Leak

Pretty simple. Take the rail off. No special tools needed. Pop in the new one.
