Hi

Yes it is thats why the only way of knowing for sure where you are 
leaking from is to remove it.

Whilst i know it can be done quicker...For a 'first time' You could 
follow the 'how to's' on this site to remove the fuel dist / Air 
venturi... lots of helpful pics on there too.

I would do as the 'how to' says and remove the fuel lines at the 
metering head., its all good fun and experience :)


Kind Regards

Mike
