It seems I have a fuel leak from the top of the IP. I have been told by mechanic the 10 O-rings likely need replacement. He quoted me $500 for the job. I live near DC

I don't feel competent enough to do this job but would like to have opinions on the diagnosis and price for the fix

any help would be appreciated

If you'd like, you can bring it to me and I can do it for you at home for way less that what they were going to charge you. I wanted to check first before replying but I did eventually find the torque specs for it. If you're planning on coming this weekend to the GTG, I can look at it for you then.
