need help with 1998 E300D fuel leak repair

I have a 1998 E 300 D. I smelled fuel inside, and looked under the hood. There was fuel dripping from under the intake manifold cover on passenger side, above the exhaust manifold. Can anyone tell me how to do this repair ? I think it's o rings and lines. I think I can do it with some diagrams, and instructions. Am I correct ?

Your description is not specific enough to give any repair Instructions.
You need to remove enough from the Engine to see exactly where it is leaking.

First

wrong section for your car
W210 forum

Also the diesel section on www.peachparts.com

When done
don't crank like crazy to prime
Hold a well rung out rag in the fuel tank opening and use it as a gasket around an air nozzle from an air compressor. Inject a bit of air to pressurize the fuel tank while someone cranks the engine till started.
