The fuel accumulator next to the main fuel pump may have a return line that goes back to the tank separately from the return line from the engine -- as I understand it, that's supposed to return gas if there's a leak in the accumulator diaphragm. Anyway, there shouldn't be any external leak there, leaking fuel could really kill your mpg!

You might want to check the other fuel return line for kinks, a blocked return line could wreak havoc with the fuel pressure. Otherwise, you might want to find someone who can diagnose fuel pressure problems, which may not be so easy assuming this is a K-jet. I'd be pretty concerned if you're getting so much fuel going by the rings that you can smell it in the oil.
