88 CSV 0-Ring?
greetings,
88 vette...have a fuel leak at the CSV where it connects to the fuel rail at the back...it is a VERY tight fit (accessibility)...i though that i had this sealed but, apparently not.....does this fitting have/use an O-Ring?....it is strange but, it only appears to leak (very small) briefly after start-up..regardless, how the hell do i stop this leak?.....thanks!

Yes, it has an o-ring but I can't remember the size. You can go to your local chevy dealer and they can tell you and might show you a pic. That's where I would purchase a replacment from. You can get to the fitting and unscrew to disconnect without taking the plenum off. The brake booster vac line might get in the way, but I don't think it's necessary to remove it.
pretty common.
