Help Fuel Leak!

Can anyone refer me to an honest diesel mechanic in the Vancouver, Washington area. I've got a 1986 f250 6.9 idi non turbo, thats developed a fuel leak. The leak is around the fuel injector...I think . Don't know much about diesels. It was my grandfather's truck. It's got 45k original miles. From what I've read in posts, its probably the o-rings need replacing. Any idea on the cost to repair?

cheap!. cents a piece for just the o rings, or if you want to do complete injector "hats" i think someone said somewhere around 40 or 50 bucks for a complete set.....maybe includes the lines not sure.. i replaced the spring clamps on each line with actual hose clamps too....one of mine was REALLY leaking and another couple looked like they were seeping. just takes a little time, not even much at that, and very easy to do.

forgot to say be careful cause the hose barbs on the "hats" sometimes are brittle and can break off..
