u my friend need a return fuel line kit .... your o-rings are hard and brittle ... replace the entire kit and kabutle and you will be with out fuel leaks ( at least there ) ... make sure to use some syliglide on the o-rings or they can tear and such..

Does the kit come with new o rings for the brass fitting that bolts the fuel line to the injector? Where is the best place to order?

i got mine form a local place here in milton .... they build pumps and injectors .... a fuel line return kit will come with the plastc thinggys that go over the inj. and the line ( you have to get it trimmed right your self ) and spring clips to put on the lines ... real simple but time consuming ...... if that does not fix it you have a cracked injector body and will need new injectors ( which I can get for about $50.00/each (BB coded) ) ...
