I just started my car and smelled raw gasoline.... backed out the garage and there is a puddle of gas on the floor and looked under the car and can see gas leaking. What the hell??? Drove a bunch yesterday and no issues...

I popped the hood and found a small puddle in between the turbo inlet hose and throttle body



Fuuuuuuuuu

 

Do you know where the leak is or no?

 

get a lighter so you can see where it is coming from



j/k bro is the puddle near the front or back of the car?

I had a car ketch on fire, you may not want to drive it.
sorry to hear your troubles

 

Puddle is underneath the engine bay.

I grabbed a flashlight (not a lighter) and found a puddle near the turbo inlet hose. I'll go take a pic. This sucks, really needed to drive today

 

You can see the puddle here, its in between my turbo inlet hose and the throttle body

 

That location probably means it could be the fuel rails underneath the intake manifold sprung a leak or one of the connections to an injector is bad? idk, wait for a pro to answer. lol

Those fuel rails are a beotch!

 

Go buy a fire extinguisher!

seriously, everyone should have one handy in their car, even if you don't think you have a fuel leak, but especially if you do!

 

check the lines under the intake manifold.. =/.. pain in the you know what, to do...

 

Same problem on my 04 sti yesterday. Tried to have it towed to a shop today, but tow truck will not tow cars with fuel leak!

 

Those are the lines that usually leaks. Right next to the turbo inlet.
Repaired 2 so far.

 

Thought I had updated this thread but never did. Yep, had to remove the intake manifold. Fuel line was corroded and cracked. Lots of fun

 

This is on my to-do list.

 

i gotta bring mine in to get checked. rich raw gas smell , but no puddle.

 

theirs actually a recall for fuel lines that run under the intake manifold just go to a subaru dealer and tell em you have a fuel smell in the engine bay and tell them you saw that theirs a service bulletin for that
