Fuel leak
Happy New year to all!
1997 960 wagon
Today, I returned home from a short drive, asi I was about to exit the car a strong smell of gasoline was inside the car. I opend the hood and saw fuel leaking from the fuel rail. I had to use the car again but the incident did not repeat itself.
Is this a common problem? Is there a grave danger of driving down the road in a 960 wagon named "Fireball", not for its performance but for it's appearance?
Can the fuel rail spring a leak or could it be an injector leaking?
Any help is appreciated.

RE: Fuel leak
You should be concerned every time there is a fuel leak, especially under the hood-that's how cars catch on fire!!!
No, it is NOT a common problem, and I doubt that Volvo really condones ignoring it. Fuel injector MAY leak, so can the fuel rail... Whatever it is, address it before your car really lives up to its name!
