Fuel leak from fuel distributor?
I replaced the air filter on the '88 5000CSQ Wagon yesterday, and
saw what looked like fuel residue on the bottom of the airbox. I
played with the airflow sensor, and found that when I displaced the
airflow sensor to the maximum flow position that I got a couple of
drops of gas that came from the fuel distributor. Has anyone dealt
with a similar problem? Can I have the fuel distributor rebuilt,
or is it a simple gasket problem?
TIA and HO HO HO!

BTW for Phil Payne ... I recall that you were reporting that it is
difficult to replace the air filter on your '88 ur-Q. As was report-
ed by someone else, I find it best to remove the right front headlight
to access the airbox on my '83 ur-Q. The '88 described above required
removing a metal duct that goes from the outlet of the airflow sensor
box down to the turbocharger inlet. I had to wiggle the fuel lines
around to get the filter and airbox cover out, but did not need to
disconnect any fuel lines.
