It also may have a problem with the fuel pressure regulator (banjo bolt)
Did this just suddenly happen or did it develop slowly over time?
Its unlikely it need a IP rebuild, at worst just a very minor repair.
The banjo bolt is not normally repairable.

Can you fill us in with some more details please.
