I had the same exact problem on my 2002 Chrysler T & C with a 3.8 engine. It leaked when the engine was cold and stopped when it warmed up. The mechanic looked at the part and called it a pressure regulator. I went to NAPA to get a new O-ring and the NAPA parts guide also called it a pressure regulator. So I guess that's what it is. I got the O-ring, same size O-ring the injectors use, and fixed it according to what Zenriddle said above. You DONT have to pull the fuel rail or intake manifold or anything like the other thread says. The fix described by zenriddle worked perfectly and I did it in 10 minutes. You just have to move the steering fluid reservoir out of the way and there is the pressure regulator. Only thing to worry about is, when you get the regulator apart about a quart (or more) of gasoline will squirt in your face so make sure you have lots of rags to catch it, and don't light any cigarettes. Once the squirting stops just replace the O-ring with the new one and you fixed the car for $3.00. It takes a lot of force to push the new O-ring in, I put a big wrench sideways across the regulator and pushed down with all my body weight (280) and even then I had to wiggle it to get it in. Once it was in, it was easy to bend the metal tabs back on it. No more leak!
