Help Identify Fuel Leak
My 1988 325ix is dripping fuel from something located slightly under and behind the intake manifold. I can see it when standing on the passenger side of the car. Would that be the fuel rail or the fuel pressure regulator? Or?? I found this when I could smell gas after starting the car to drive to work this morning. I switched to another car and will have more time to examine the problem child when I get home this afternoon. Any advice on what I'm dealing with?

If it's from the front it may be your rubber piece that seals the regulator to the rail. But since you say it's from the middle it could be either the rail or an injector.

On my e30 the stainless steel clamp on the fuel line running to the fuel rail was leaking. Removed clamp and put new one on, no more problems.
You can see the rubber fuel line from the pasg. side which runs to the flat black metal fuel rail at the back of the intake.
