Yea, agreed .... BUT ... he is leaving tomorrow and the dealer is
closed. I think that was his question: leave or panic? The answer,

If you're talking about the fabric-covered rubber hoses, those are the
return lines. Low pressure, but if they're leaking it's the MB
way of
telling you that the hoses have gone brittle and are going to fail.
The leak will become worse and you'll have people sniffing and saying
"Are you leaking fuel?"
They sell it for ~$12/meter at the MB dealer - Rusty et al. sell it
cheaper. Be sure to buy the #5 injector plug and replace that too.
They last 15-20 years. Time to change all of them.
