Also check your fuel lines and the sensor that is on the back of the bowl that's where mine was leaking from

I thought my '96 was a leak in the valley but it was the steel line (pass. side) that feeds the back of heads had the o-ring go bad and sprayed fuel all over. Just something else to look at.

I thought mine was the valley, but its the water in fuel sensor that comes out the driver side of the bowl. I read on another thread that you can buy a new sensor on ebay, or if ur not concerned about the sensor you can install a brass male plug to fill the hole. Just dont overtighten.
