My car has been up on jack stands for about 5 months now, and i went to work under it again and noticed it was leaking something. I had noticed earlier when i was working in the garage that it smelled like gas all of the sudden. I figured it was one of my neighbors doing something, because i didnt have any open gas lying around.
There are 3 lines going to/from my fpr. First one is blue and goes towards the engine. second 2 are smaller I will get some pics up asap of where the leak is coming from. The line that goes to the bottom of the fpr is the line that is leaking It is not a small drip, fluid is streaming down the control arm. Battery is disconnected. I found this under the car ![]() ![]() ![]()

Alright so after going back under the car and thinking with a clear mind (after dealing with the thought of leaking gas all over my garage) I dont think the banjo bolt is from the fuel system at all. I tihnk the bolt is from my brake system (I took the caliper off, and someone walking by must have kicked the bolt under the car). It is the same thread/pitch/size as the caliper bolt so Im guessing thats what its from.
The banjo bolt on the top of the fuel filter is bigger (maybe a 17mm) and is still attached. I still have the problem of why my fuel lines started leaking on their own. The clamp on the rubber hose did seem to stop the leaking. I dont know why it would be leaking from there though. It was almost as if the fp was working, but my batt is disconnected, and the car has been sitting like that for the past 5 months. I will get a pic of where I have the clamp on the rubber line.
