That is best if you don't have the the experience you are better off paying somebody else to fix it. You did say where it was leaking but in a fuel injected system this sort of thing can have a number of causes. When you get it fixed let us know what caused it.

you would be amazed what you can fix with a haynes or chiltons manual on a vehicle that old(damn near everything), of course if you dont have access to tools thats a different matter.
