Yes intake must come off to replace the plastic fuel lines. And FWIW the fryerpower viton kit includes the two o-rings ESchwab mentioned. You will need to source your own copper crush washers though, two of them, for the banjo fitting.
I would also heed his advice re: the cylinder head temp sensor. It's inexpensive, but you have to remove the intake to access it, so might as well replace it preemptively while youre in there.

Yes this is common, there's a large o-ring that sits between the EGR valve and the piping. When the o-ring fails, it makes a mess as you describe. Replace the o-ring while you have the intake off. p/n 606-997-06-45
