Just a quick update to add something to the collective wisdom of the
list. What I had thought was a fuel leak was actually a bad
distributor. Actually, the distributor o-ring was leaking oil into the
distributor and therefore no spark, no spark flooded the injectors and
fuel began to drip when attempting to start the van.

Replaced the distributor and everything is fine.
