is it v6 or v8? if v8, change out the fuel injection "spider" unit. replace with mfi conversion spider. stock unit is problem prone to leaking, new unit is not. far better piece. takes bout 3-5 hours, easy job. here's the new unit from oreilly's auto parts. you'll need the bracket that's listed just above it as well as intake gaskets.
