Still trying to sort out the car.
There is a leak in a fuel line at the Fuel Distributor. This line is supported on the fuel distributor, but does not connect to it. The line has a metal fitting and elbow at the RF corner of the fuel distributor, and then the rubber hose disappears under the intake manifold. The metal elbow end is leaking because someone ( evidently) tried to unscrew it without a backup wrench, and the twisted it to the point that fuel straps out.
I need to replace this hose, but I don't even know what it is called. Getting to the other end looks like I may have to remove the intake manifold. Is that correct?

I can find very generic Bosch CIS descriptions, but can't find anything specific to my SE to help me identify this part.

ALSO---I just found a loose component just lying in the air dust to the filter housing. It is connected to a wire, but not installed anywhere. I can try to post a picture, later, but wondering of anyone has any idea what it might be before I venture out to my cold garage.
