Fuel leak
I have a fuel leak, my bleeder valve is seeping fuel out of it once I turn the key to on position but I don’t turn on the car. The bleeder valve looks just like a valve core stem but I was wonder how I can fix the leak without having to buy a new fuel rail?

Re: Fuel leak
Is it leaking from the core? The valve core can be replaced, just like the core in a tire valve. Here’s an example of a GM replacement core and cap. You would have to check the part number for your specific year/model.

Re: Fuel leak
If the leak is due to port being damaged (in the case you have lines attached to the port), you can get a lapping tool to fix it: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kts-ff-4/overview/
Another thing to look for is an over tightened port. I was an idiot on mine and broke mine. If this is the case, you will need to find a shop (or if you can do it) that can weld very thin material. I think I paid $20 for the fix to mine.
