FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A SEVERE FUEL LEAK ON THE FUEL LINE NEAR THE BACK OF THE CAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT APPEARS TO BE A HEAVILY CORRODED AREA. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING IT IS A STEADY LEAK AS THE FUEL PUMP IS RUNNING. WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF THE LEAK EVENTUALLY STOPS ONCE ALL OF THE FUEL IN THE LINE HAS DRAINED OUT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL STARTING LEAKING BY THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE FUEL IS DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL AND VAPOR RECOVERY LINES AROUND THE AREA WHERE THERE IS A HOLDING CLIP. LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE SPRAYING OUT ABOVE THAT AREA POSSIBLY WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED. I NOTICED THE SMELL OF FUEL FIRST WHILE DRIVING. ONCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED I FOUND GAS LEAKING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, STARTED VEHICLE AND THE FUEL LINES STARTED POURING GASOLINE OUT. MY WIFE AND I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE AND INSPECTED AROUND THE VEHICLE. IT WAS COMING FROM JUST IN FRONT OF DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WHERE THE FUEL LINES AND EXHAUST SYSTEM BOTH GO UP AND AROUND THE REAR AXLE. LOOKED UP ONLINE TO FIND THAT THE REASON IS POOR DESIGN BECAUSE OF A HEAT SHIELD THAT WRAPS THE FUEL LINE TO PROTECT FROM THE HEAT OF THE EXHAUST PIPES ALSO ACTS AS A SPONGE AS IT STORES MOISTURE AGAINST THE FUEL LINES CREATING A POINT OF FAILURE.
