Fuel leaks

I have bee chasing a fuel leak while simultaneously thinking I had a bad injector. The past 3 months or so I've had a tap tap tap at idle. Finally replaced the o'rings on the rail returns line. No leaky but most important she purrs like a kitten now. Amazing how detrimental a little air in these fuel systems are.

Nice find! My 2nd guess would have been the O-rings in the fuel water separator valve.
