Good luck with that. The Mrs. had a '92 Escort with a leaking fuel rail and Ford had stopped making the part. We ended up selling the car to a junkyard. You might be able to find the part you need online or at a salvage yard. But yes, you need to do something about the problem.

The fuel injector O-rings are leaking.
