Ok, some of you might remember that I had a bad Injector o-ring, that is fixed and 100% not the prob any more. I'm starting to go nutz trying to find this little leak that only seems to happen when I turn the key and the fuel system Is pressurized. It seems like it is happening on the front of the rail, right where the fuel line comes into the rail, I've tried to tighten the fitting down and still seems to do it, I guess I havn't had a chance to look at what happens when the key is turned because I need 2 ppl do do that, my buddy is comming over tonight he can turn the key and I will watch to see what happens but any sugestions/input and saddly he does not know anything about cars so its just me for the brain side but watch he will figgure it out. lol anyways thanks for you Input in advance

Turn your key then get out and see if there is moisture anywhere along your fuel lines.To help you find it.Or light a match.But yea if it's the fitting use some teflon.Or just buy a new fuel rail with some bigger injectors along with a turbo kit.

take it off, tape it up, put it back on. if it still leaks, you might have crossthreaded the rail/fitting, inwhich case you will have to replace whatever you crossthreaded. Also make sure that the nipple on the rail is long enough to properly engage the swivel seal flange inside the fitting.

Well I think it is fixed and it better be because I have to drive 400 miles for work to Mt. Pleasant Michagan (and another 400mi back) so I won't be on the boards for a while and hope to god my car holds up to the strain of this trip. Thanks for the help all
