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.

Went to the dealer today, I know many of you don't like them, but I think you have to give them some credit for knowing the cars they sell. Anyway the mechanic sid the tank was rusted and there was a leak, and many of the fittings, lines, hoses were rusted or cracked, thats what I get for having the car 9 years in the rustbelt. They were able to find a used celica tank (miracle I think) (1/2 the price of a new one). Should get the car on Thursday, I'll let you know the final damage, though the initial estimate is $1000 CAN ($700 U.S), but should be lower since the tank is cheaper and they said they were conservative for labor time (damn I'd like $65 an hour).
