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.
