Small fuel leak on 1989 Chevy Cavalier?

[Heike P]

I have located the leak and it seems to be by one of the sensors.My Futur son in law sayes it might be just an O-Ring.If it is would it be OK for myself to replace it?I am used to working on older Ford models but this Chevy thing I am still learning about.I want to do it myself.It doesn`t look like it is going to be that hard.I know that I will have to do all that stuff about releasing the fuel pressure so I don`t need to know how to do that.Just please tell if you think it is the O-Ring .I am pretty sure I can do it myself I just want to make sure I don`t mess something else up in the process.It is leaking right out of the connection where one of the sensors is .When I push it inward it stops a little.I know I needs to fix it soon because the smell of gas get`s pretty strong at times now.I have rigged it up some what but that is obviously not doing the trick.Is there really an O -Ring in there?

Suggest you make sure you have insurance and then drop a match, you solve two problems, no more gas leak, no more junk car! (sorry I couldn't resist!)

what Sensor is it? i almost bet it is a fuel injector. what i did on mine is bought the o ring kit, took the one that is leaking out and slid the o rings off slide the new one on get some lubrication put it around the o ring and slide it back into place if you do not use any lubrication it will pinch the o ring and still leak, that's what i would do
