Fuel leak where fuel line attaches to the injector rail.for more than 4 years ago i occasionally noticed the smell of gas fumes. Neither the dealership nor i could find any indication of a leak. In the last 2 months the odor has been stronger & happened more often, which started me looking again. Found gas dripping onto the valve cover gasket,from there to the exaust manafold. Leak is from a factory connection where the steel gas line enters the fuel injection system. The following odi id's refer to same/similar problems514406, 522187, 543261, 543657, 820964, 830971, 833436, 834270, 834347, 835204, 838304, 937305 & 841312. The last one (841312) indicates there was a recall for this problem but i did not find it in your database. My problem with this i have been driving a potential "molintov cocktail" for over 4 years, and it would seem from the complaints that there is a definate safty hazard.
