There's a strong fuel smell around the intake manifold on my 1980 245DL - I don't see any liquid fuel by any of the injector lines or the cold start injector. There's no odor by the fuel filter. Any hints for diagnosing before I have to pull the manifold to get access to the fuel distributor? Any common failures? The car doesn't run any differently than normal. A couple weeks ago I was tugging on injectors 1 and 2 trying to get them to separate from the plastic holders for O-ring replacement with no success but I didn't think I damaged the lines and the fuel smell didn't start until yesterday. Thanks
