While inspecting my vacuum lines for replacement, I noticed fuel leaking from the "Y" splitter between my fuel pressure regulator and the damper. Is the damper bad or the regulator? Should I just change both?
Also, I included a picture of my Control Valve. The vacuum hose that normally connected to it was not working properly... the heater doors were not shutting in the blower. I ran a seperate hose from the CV to a "Y" splitter on a different vacuum line and it worked. When I replace the vacuum lines (Lindsay Racing), can I keep it that way or do I need to go back to the original vacuum line that runs from the firewall?
Thanks ahead of time.
*The leak pictures are all of the same leak, just different angles*

Hi, I hate to say it, but can you make the pictures smaller? It is hard to tell from your close up pictures. Pull one vac line off at a time to see where the fuel is leaking from either the FPR or Damper. Have rags ready to soak up the fuel. Best to have a fire extinguisher handy when doing this.

I pulled the vac line from both the FPR and Damper (as Grandpa advised), the regulator? (closest to the front of car) is the one that leaked a little..
