'99 E300 - Fuel Leaks above SOV - what else to do to make it a daily driver?

Ok, I've got one with about 125k on the clock. Last winter was winter, so I did not drive it but twice from Oct - December of 2009. Since then it has developed a fuel line leak as noted up under the IM, sometime while sitting. So I have driven it...... What 3 times this year? Might soon become daily driver...

1. Beg for forgiveness, how could I let it sit for months on end????
2. I'm going to be diving in soon, taking off IM, replace a couple of fuel lines I could not get to w/o taking off the IM. Replace o-rings with viton.
3. Seems like I will need to replace some clips, so I will do that.
4. Probably has original belt on it and I have a new belt tensioner.
5. Will change the oil and fuel filters as well as air while I am at it.
6. Oh, it is dusty and I have not washed it this year.
7. Probably replace battery, it is now weak.
8. Due for tranny fluid and filter change - O'rings and a magnet if I recall correctly should be added?
9. Anti-freeze is probably 3 yrs old
10. PS fluid change?
11. brake fluid change?

What else should I be pondering while I am in there?

Rumor at work they may pull the company cars, so I might be forced to drive this daily at least 150 miles.
