Fuel leak update:

[sv51macross]

Not the fuel lines! Got the LIM back off and re-pressurized the fuel system. Guess whaaaaaaat!

Pulse damper is leaking. With the pump whirring away, from the joint between the PD and the rail, just a constant drip, drip, drip...So, the piece LuncboxCritter sold me is going in.

Funny thing, removing the rails I managed to get more fuel over the engine than the leak ever did.

Wow. Just...wow. Now I really hate the M-Effer I bought the car from. I broke another vac line and it's stump was particularly hard to remove. My hand slips and I snap off one of the OMP lines at the barb. So, after swearing several times, I bite the bullet. (Thank goodness I bought that 8ft of small-engine fuel line) Upon removing the fan and investigating the OMP...I figure out where my oil leak was coming from all along! It appears that when the M-Effer swapped in Lucy's current engine, he broke the two upper OMP lines an inch from the pump. Instead of replacing the lines, guess what he did? He slips hose over the broken ends, not even any clamps, just hose, it it was pretty freaking loose, too!

So, now I have two OMP lines to replace as well. [rubs temples] I swear, as soon as I get that Rtek7, the first thing I do...
