Leaking Fuel

[jarrod1995]

I have a fuel leak and it looks like that its comming out where the motor and tranny bolt up, I mean like right out of the bottom of the front of the tranny. It didnt seem to bad till I started parking and sitting in the same spot. Any Ideas before I take it in, Jarrod.

The leak is most likely starting on the top of the motor & running down from the center of the valley, Have you had anything apart up there lately? Check by the fuel filter & below it is the FPR. Something may have rattled loose. Does it still run & start OK? A.R.

It seems to be running fine, I did alot of starting and idling last night, It was used for a hey ride. Someone told me it was stinking pretty good, we started looking around and it had drops and puddles everywhere. Ill lool around tonight ans see what I see.

I had to replace the fuel bowl on mine. Water had allowed corrosion to eat a hole in it. Once it started leaking, it went bad fast and was pouring out by the time I got to the dealer. You could track everywhere I went in town !

Yeap, Very common.

It is probably a hole in the Fuel Bowl aka Fuel Canister aka Fuel Filter Holder.

Or one of the lines going to it from the Fuel Pump might be bad.

This is where I can see air and wetness, I couldn't get the camera to focus completely but you can almost see the bubbles. I guess this is the Fuelpump, correct.

Yeap,

That is the Fuel Pump

So is that part replaceable or whole thing trashed.

The Fuel Pump???

I got my mirror out and you can see it comming out of the bottom of the pump.
