I might be there luckiest person I know. After driving my 91 S4 to get the tint I noticed a persistent gas smell. Popping the hood I found a pin hole leak in the line that runs over the PS cam cover.
Im wondering how that line failed like that. If it was the original it should have a hard plastic line under the rubber sleeve. I took my old one apart from my 1990 s4 and the line underneath and the outer rubber all looked in good condition. Long story as to why I removed and destroyed the old one but i concluded it probably would have lasted a lot longer. I don't believe the other lines have that same design.

Me too. Makes me doubt the condition of others I've seen, especially the U hose under the MAF.
I think this is the only 928 I own that has not had the lines upgraded. That changes this weekend.
Had similar on my 80 twice. Found a leaking injector body on the right side, replaced that, a week later found a leaking injector hose on the left side. Replaced all hoses.
