Well that thingy is called a Fuel injector. I believe they started putting those in 1985.
Throttle body. The best thing is have your dad look at the throttle body while you start it.
This way he can see exactly where the fuel is leaking from. Make sure that safty googles are availible to prevent future eye contaminations. I know that stuff burns badly ive been there before. Could be that the fuel injector is not secured down onto the throttle body.
But I dont know. Hope this helps and good luck with it.
