Fuel rail firewall side leaking gas?
#2
no way to tell 20 years of history at a glance, if fuel and oil dont leak now, then history , of such is not important.
that is the fuel rail , anti pulsation device, that keeps pressure steady as the injectors fire away.
it has a very special copper ring gasket that only real suzuki parts fit. (i went thru hell, getting mine to stop leaking on both ends)
the ID is not unique but is Unique is the rim size,
the suzuki loves hot climates. starts faster, warms faster and lasts longer,

i have no idea at all what engine oil you have,
they sell oil in silly colors now, not just amber, pink, purple, green, red, and more.
the top failures for oil leaks are the VC, and distributor.
the dizzy drips down the bell housing.
VC=valve cover
the VC gasket leaks in all directions, some are hidden like behnd the CAM COG WHEEL. and into the spark plug wells (oil lake?)
at the 60k service , with a new Tbelt. the VC gasket is changed to check valve lash, by the book.
nobody ever does 60ks or lash or anything, then the VC turns to brick and leaks.
and you are looking at 20 years of all that. so is not important, only that which leaks now.

your car can get 24mpg in town and 28 on the high way. easy
a low limit there is not, as some avg, 5mph in NY city traffic, or less



what matters is the fuel leaks.
zero are to be tolerated. or it will catch fire. I promise.

let me explain that copper fuel gasket
if someone pulled the head or engine.
they then loose those to parts
then put in hardware store part. and it leaks. (seen many like that)
the 2 parts are shows at suzuki
ident: (takes two parts)
4, 15762-61b00 , is 14x 19 x 0.84 (all in mm, id ,od, and thick)
6: 15763-61b00 , is 17x 22,x 0.84 (ID x OD by thick)

if by chance the parts are still stock, (how to tell, impossible with no new part in hand)
I have hand milled many copper washers using a thick plate of glass or steel plate and 400 grid wet and dry sand paper layed flat , (far far from home off grid)


suzuki sells it for 2 bucks (one)

and your are off the grid.
that is , no suzuki parts counter
and few others.
the rails parts are all very hard to get and make leak free.
