My car has been up on jack stands for about 5 months now, and i went to work under it again and noticed it was leaking something. I had noticed earlier when i was working in the garage that it smelled like gas all of the sudden. I figured it was one of my neighbors doing something, because i didnt have any open gas lying around.
There are 3 lines going to/from my fpr. First one is blue and goes towards the engine. second 2 are smaller I will get some pics up asap of where the leak is coming from. The line that goes to the bottom of the fpr is the line that is leaking It is not a small drip, fluid is streaming down the control arm. Battery is disconnected. I found this under the car

thats your fuel return then. undo the clamp and take the hose off. inspect it for cracks... replace the hose if needed, and reinstall with a new clamp.

Yeah thats what I was going to do. Im guessing it cracked right where it overlaps the hard line. Is the fuel system pressurized? Would it still be pressurized after 5 months of not running? |
