Gas Leak from Top Front of Engine

My 89 Max has developed a gas leak that appears to be comming from the top-right part of the engine toward the front of the car. It looks like its dripping from the fuel lines that feed the injectors (didn't remove air intake yet). Can the injectors be leaking fuel or does this normally happen to the lines and what is the best remedy for this type of problem? Any help appreciated!!!

I just did it on my 91. You have to take off the upper and mid level intake to access the fuel rail. The rail then unbolts and you can remove the clamps and the old line. Measure the hose (injector grade hose must be used) and replace the hose. The big job is to remove all the vacuum lines and the intake. Make diagrams, take pictures and keep the bolts organized. A manual is a must for the sequence of intake bolt remove and install.
