Default Fuel leak found, in control regulator..now what?

Ok, I traced it down to fuel coming from the differential control regulator, mounted in front of the fuel distributor. there is a small plastic vent hose on the front of it, which is connected then to the airbox. Fuel is coming through this line, to the airbox. Can this be the main issue, or does it tie into anything else? After checking everything, removed distributor, lines, cleaned it all inside (not dirty), and now the car won't start, just leak fuel out this line.
I am looking for a used unit to replace now, distributor and all.

Fuel shouldn't be coming out of the tube, the regulator has probably blown the diaphragm or seal inside and most likely you need a new one. The leaking fuel probably means that you don't have the correct system pressure. The only way to know for sure would be too measure it with special CIS fuel injection tester to make sure that the failed regulator is not the result of a problem elsewhere.
