Default Didn't start to leak until winter temps arrived ...

seemed to seap out even when the engine was warmed up, though my thermostat was also stuck open at the time so the car was running cool (since repaired). I had my indipendant shop do the repair. Took 3 days to get the part - had to be shipped from FL to IL. Don't recall the part number.

Default Check the fuel line connections

My car had a loose fuel line in the engine compartment which came this way from the factory. On one trip to work the connection started leaking and by the time I got to the parking lot at work white smoke started coming out of the hood. I'm lucky the car didn't burst into flames. Worth getting fixed :-)
