if its one of the rubber fuel lines. It will cost around 5-30 dollars if you do it yourself. You just need to take out the old hose and put in some new fuel injection hose form autozone and your done.

icemark brings up a good point, the 86-88's were notorious for pulsation dampner failure. they're about 100-200 if i remember.

Find the leak. If it is just a fuel line, the just get in there and replace it. It will not cost a lot. If it is the pulsation damper, then yopu would be looking at some trouble. I'd just pull a decent looking one from the yard.

On the S4 models the PD is pretty cheap to replace. Only about $125 for the part.

Don't ever use a used PD. Always buy new.

The S5 PD/Rail last I checked was just under $200.

Should the Fuel Line be the culprit, replace It with approve Fuel Line rated with a diameter of 5/16.

Goodyear makes these lines as I have no complaints.
