Hi all. I suspect that have a fuel leak at the fuel line fittings near the driver side cylinder head. (I believe that it is fuel, since it is so clear, I guess I should collect a few drops and see if it burns vs. coolant.)

It appears to be at the junction of the fuel lines. This is the point where the fluid drops off the tubing and falls down. The clip that holds the two tubes together at the joint is very dirty, the one below them is clean. The tag on the line that is at the joint leaking is part number 3c34-9j338-ag. Is there a o-ring in side the joint? Do I need to replace both hoses of the joint? I can't find any posting of a history of this fuel line leaking.

Or... is it that the joint never fail, and the leak is up tube? I can't see any where it is coming out when viewing it from the top.

Thank you for the help.

 

bump.........

 

That line don't normally leak, lots of coolant in the drivers area that could be the culprit, like Degus bottle crack under pressure, plastic Y , hoses, cap, I would get a Taste test over burn then you'll know. Are you loosing coolant ? A few drips would be hard to tell

 

Well it was the fuel line fitting. The supply side hard line to the 4 micron fuel filter. New line coming in tomorrow. We see how it goes tomorrow.

 

Hmmm maybe it was worked on in the past, good to hear every drop counts on Milage

 

So the dirty junction in the attached picture is the one that is leaking. I have a quick 3 sec mp4 of it leaking. I don't know how to convert it to an avi so I can load it to the site.

What kind of tool is needed to pull apart the junction. I've slipped off the stainless sheet metal retainer clip, but the tubes will not separate. i've pulled, and yanked and it does not budge. Do I need to open the fuel filter? Is there a special tool? Brute force and flippin' ignorance?

Its funny how it goes from a, "this should take 15 mins" to "how many hours is it going to take job". Thanks for the help.

 

Remove the clip that you see designed to keep the line on the fitting, THEN use a fuel line tool, push in on both ends and with a little work it should come apart.
