Default Fuel Rail

I have a leaking fuel rail on my '97 4.2. Can anyone bring me up to speed on repairing or replacing them?

Thanks...

Default Likely an o-ring. Is it leaking from an injector or the metal rail itself?

The fuel rail is easy to remove, I'd start by replacing all the o-rings if the leak point isn't obvious. Also, the mechanical connection of the fuel line to the fuel rail is a common leak point, especially when it is cold out.

It's been cold here...so that the fuel line to rail junction is likely. Thanks for your help.
