Turns out that the fuel line that supplies fuel to the fuel distributor, was seeping. There is a rubber hose that connects to a metal pipe, which connects to the fuel distributor. At the union of the rubber hose and metal pipe, was where it was seeping. It looks like the hose is glued on or something. But all I did was put a hose clamp on it, and all is well. 5 cent fix.
Nice! My shuddering idle was traced to O2 sensor.
