I've noticed a fuel leak from what I believe to be the fuel rail. It is pretty significant. I have just had a lot of work done including replacing the head gasket, battery, and alternator. What could cause this?

Hi chieftain34,

Fuel leaks at the fuel rail are mostly due to bad injector O rings. As fuel in the rails is under pressure, any weak O rings would result in a substantial amount of leakages.
