It is IMPARATIVE that you replace ALL the rubber fuel lines under the hood if they are original, not just the one that is leaking. The fuel delivery pressure on the D jetronic system is high, and the chance of a fire under the hood is also high with old fuel lines.
Also, the leak you have now may make it impossible for the system to maintain propoer pressure to the injectors, which is critical to proper running.
The cold start valve may respond to an injection of 3:1 oil down the throat, but do the fuel lines first.
