Gas leak, caused by?
I have been smelling a strong gasoline odor from the vents when I had
the A/C on, and then when I popped the hood I see gasoline leaking from
the fuel rail (see link to image). I am thinking it is the fuel
injector, and dropped in some fuel injector cleaner, seemed to relieve
it for a few days, then it came back stronger than ever, time to
clean/replace the fuel injector if that? or can it be something else?

A leaking injector definitely won't stop leaking because you ran
cleaner thru it! If it is an injector, you will see one of the 6
injectors dripping/seeping fuel when the engine is running or as long
as there is pressure in the fuel rail. Note where the injectors sit:
directly above the ehaust manifold. Having a gas leak drip onto a hot
manifold is not a good idea, really, so if it's a leak find it and fix
it pronto. The are two possible leaks around the injector. If the
injector itself has an internal leak replace it. If the leak is
around the o-ring that seals the injector-rail joint you can pull the
fuel rail and replace ALL the o-rings (one on each end of each
injector). Simple job - just buy the proper o-ring kit and follw
instructions about which one goes on what end of the injector.
If it's an injector problem it will probably be leaking around the
electrical connector. I check that by pulling the connector, rotating
the injector so that the plug is straight up than blowing it good and
dry. Turn the ignition on - no need to start it - and see ig the
connector well gets damp. If so, pitch that injector. Since you have
to remove the fuel rail to replace the injector, I would highly advise
replacing the o-rings on all the injectors at the same time.

That isn't an injector, that's the pressure regulator
and either the gasket is leaking or the regulator is broken.
(pull the vac hose off and if it is full of gas then
the regulator needs to be replaced. Do not crank down on the
bolts, the fuel rail is aluminum, distorts easily, and is expensive.

You are pointing to your Fuel Pressure Regulator:
http://members.***.net/wilsond/Fixes...-regulator.jpg It
has a diaphragm in it that goes bad just like your rubber wiper blades,
replace it, before you crash, burn and die.
