Copied from a K-Jetronic online source:

The purpose of the fuel accumulator is to maintain pressure in the fuel system to prevent fuel vaporization while the vehicle is not in use. The system has several check valves inside that close, sealing off the fuel return lines to the tank. When the accumulator fails, or is beginning to fail, you will notice problems starting when the engine is hot.

I'd say you should locate the source of the fuel leak. See if it points to the accumulator. It isn't a big deal to change (from what I remember, it's been many years since I've futzed with a CIS system, and this was on 99s, never did one on a 900).
I believe you can get a good view from car side if you remove the left rear wheel and look in at the gas tank.
Good luck.
