Bravo!
Fuel leak: I'll bet the leak is the bigger clear plastic line off the back of
the IP, which is discharge from the lift pump that goes to the big fuel filter.
Those lines age, turn yellow, get brittle. If it got any pressure, it probably

1) the intake manifold has been off for a long time (5 years?) and
