Ok, so I ran out to my car this morning. Started it up, forgot my headunit inside... so I ran back inside to get it (and let the car warm up). Got back, and I see this huge puddle (size of a large pizza). I am parked on a slight slope. I bend down to smell it, and it smells like gas. Pop the hood. Injectors are dry on the outside. Fuel filter is dry. Lines are dry. I peer down in the driver side, kinda near the axle/etc. would be, and it looks wet.

So my question... if it's not oil, and it's not antifreeze, what is it... and where could this leak be coming from?

 

the fuel return line is over there... check the return side to the fuel tank from the fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator.

Great, will do once I get home. Thanks!

Any tips to access that area? Lift the car up? Take the wheel off?

 

no need, you'll be able to access it from above. follow it off the fuel rail

 

end of fuel rail has a hose that runs to this mess on the firewall (lol that's what mine looks like :\) but yeah i replaced my hose and got some nice new clamps and now all is good..

 

Thanks everyone!

While peering into the bay this morning, that is what it appears to be.

Was it pretty simple to replace?
