I bought my '94 Celica used in 2000, today I noticed gasoline leaking from under the car! Glad no one smokes, though I did see it dripping from the exhaust. I was just saying to myself the other day that Toyta sure builds a solid car, never had anything unexpected happen... until today. Hopefully its just a minor hold, though I could smell gas vapours when I opened the windows. Its sitting at a local repair shop, since the dealership I take it to isn't open until Tuesday. If its minor I'll let them fix it, otherwise I'll take it to the dealer.

**Update**
So the guy says he can't find it, and I have to admit later that evening I went to the garage and the leak had stopped. Now he assumes that I overfilled the tank at the pump and that he said there is some internal overflow valve which likely was leaking the excess gas. However, he did state it was a visual inspection only since he didn't want to remove any compoents of the fuel system since he said many of the lines looked rusty and he thought they might break if an attempt to remove the tank was made. Unfotunately when I drive witht the windows open I smell gas, so I'll take it to Toyota (dealer I'm with is pretty good, they don't seem to have ever looked for work to do) and get the fuel system lines checked, maybe check the PCV valve. Teh car was in the rust-belt of upstate ny before I moved out west, so doesn't suprise me to hear the lines are rusty. |
