#700233October 31, 1998
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK, FUEL WAS FOUND TO BE DRIPPING UNDER THE CAR. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE EXPANSION TANK OR ITS HOSES. THE DEALER NEEDS TO DROP THE REAR SUSPENSION TO GET A BETTER LOOK, AND THEN ORDER PARTS. I'VE HAVE READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM INVOLVING OTHER V70S.
