Huge problem .. there is gas leaking from a pipe near the rear driverside wheel. (I apologize for not being descriptive enough). The pipe is quite rusted as I touch it and pieces of rust broke away.
I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem / knows how I can fix it? Also is it safe to drive (I'm assuming not since there's gas leaking) |

1. time to get off the snow tires
2. empty the fuel tank before anything bad happens 3. trace that metal line back to clean metal and splice in new line, bend it into place, put a bubble flare on the end of it, and reattach the rubber line. i'm not sure, but that looks like the fuel return line. -------------------- |

I'm really a newbie when it comes to fixing my car myself. Would you be able to dumb that down a bit for me, you think it would be a hard job -- or should I just take it to a mechanic? |
