Thanks to all that answered,

One of you guys said that the fuel distributor can leak?
where exactly is that thing located and how is it connected to the
intake manifold when gas goes trough separate injectors for each cylinder??

Here are some pics

The air cleaner housing sits over the airflow meter. If you remove the air cleaner, you will see the fuel distributor mounted on the airflow meter body. It has fuel lines running to each injector, the cold-start valve, the fuel pressure regulator, and a return line. The EHA valve is plastered to its side.

The large vane of the airflow meter is mechanically coupled to the metering plunger of the fuel distributor - the further the vane is pulled down, the more fuel is sent to the fuel injectors. There is a vertical post with an adjustment screw inside on the airflow meter body for calibrating the coupling. It is past the metering plunger that fuel can leak into the airflow meter housing. It is not supposed to do that.
