Need some quick help - fuel leak :(
I've noticed a slight smell of raw gas for the last little while - today I found the source. The fuel line that runs from the primary to secondary rail leaks slightly near the banjo fitting at the top. I need to fix this over the weekend, so can somebody tell me:
1. What size fuel line is used? Recommendations on what to use?
2. Any hints on replacing it with a minimum of effort (it looks like I can get at it with just the removal of the airpump hose).
Thanks in advance,
Henrik

PS. For inquiring minds, if you smell fuel (I could smell it slightly at idle inside the car) you can check for leaks with the engine cold by turning the key to 'start' and jumpering the fuel pump service connector (the two pin connector on the passenger side shock tower). I could only see the leak with the engine cold, it was not visible with the engine hot or running (I guess it would just evaporate)
