Default 4.3 vortec fuel pressure port leak

My 1994 s10 blazer with the 4.3L code W has a fuel pressure port located on the back of the intake where the fuel line comes in. It appears to be leaking has around the base of the port. Has anyone experienced this and what is required to fix it? There doesn't appear to be any leakage around either the inner or outer fuel line connections.

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like your schrader valve is leaking. It's the same kind of valve that's in your tires. I'd stop by the tire shop and have them replace it. You could buy one and the tool to change it for cheap but I bet a tire shop will do it for free so you'll like them and consider them for your next tire purchase.

He said it was leaking around the base. Since its high pressure you may have to replace the line
