Default Why am I leaking?

Ihave a small fuel leak when car is started. The nut is screwed on as tight as it will go. I dont wanna strip it. I have taken it all apart and cleaned all of the connections, but it still leaks. What should i do? Do i have it to tight?

go get new washers or o rings for the big bolt. as far as the hose goes, im not sure if there is a replacement for the o ring or the washer, you might have to get a new fuel line.

You could get a new fuel rail, perhaps one of them shiny AEM ones. There is prolly a gasket or seal at the end of the fuel rail like mike said.

from the pic of were the leak is coming from that is a crush washer that you can replace for under a buck but on the other side of that banjo bolt you will need to replace that crushwasher as well because you are there and it will prevent any further leaking.
