It doesn't leak around the injector lines on top, it seems to be near the bottom somewhere. What is it and how hard is it to fix? This is Fritz the 87 124 with 318K. As far as I know the IP has never been worked on (according to my records which start at 150K) Thanks for the help.

Looks to me like the leak is comming from above the picture somewhere. You can see the wet spot to the left of the hard fuel line near the top of the photo. Wipe it all down really well so it's dry then go for a drive then check on the leak and you can then definetly figure out what is leaking. It may leak at idle enough that you can see it as well.

A diesel leak can be hard to find as it's clear and thin.

Best is to spray the area with a good cleaner (simple green max from autozone is my choice) so it will dry, then drive it, next dust the area with a little baby powder to see where it sticks.
