    I filled my tank tonight cause we are leaving for vaca in the morning. Went to pick my wife up at work, got back to the car and could smell gas. Still smelled gas when I got home, popped the hood and saw a tiny little stream of gas spraying out of the hose closest to the driver side, about an inch from where the plastic line connects to the metal line above the supercharger.

    It stopped spraying after a couple mins...

    Any one have an idea of how hard this is gonna be to replace, or what its gonna cost me?

    Looks like our departure has hit a delay

    Is the actual line leaking? These cars have some major issues with this kind of thing.

    yeah, I could see the fuel spraying outta the line itself. Its a little pin hole that was spraying, I missed seeing it at first but felt it hit my hand while I was feeling around, lol. Here is a picture if it helps, the red arrow is pointing to where the 'spray' was....

    And some on these boards say those nylon lines last forever and wonder why some want to switch to braided stainless.
