s0rr0w if you notice fuel leaking from the rubber hoses between the fuel rail and the injectors you should go no further ! You've got to replace these hoses before you lose your car to a fire :evil:

Could the leaking hoses have been the cause of all my trouble, that i just didnt notice it earlier, or do you think that there is more to it ?

s0rr0w unless the hoses were leaking a tremendous quantity of fuel that's not likely the source of the problem.Have your mechanic do a fuel system pressure check.In doing this he should also verify correct operation of the fuel pressure regulator.
