I installed my new battery, works like a charm but I started my car today and noticed a bit of a fuel leak or drip or something under the right front fender. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Fuel pump or hoses. Fix it before it fixes you. :cry

By right, do you mean driver or passenger side?

And who the heck is Frodo Baggins anyways? :lol:

Could be brake fluid. Smell it to make sure its fuel and not something else.

I was talking to BSeery and he said it'll probably be the fuel line or pump as well, it's on the passenger side. :cry

:lol: Apparently frodo baggins is from lord of the rings (a movie) but I haven't seen it. Everyone in Off Topic says i look like him

It's deffinately fuel, i smelled it when i caught it dripping. Welcome to the forum btw :seeya

Did anyone ever tell you that you looked like Chris Kataan in your previous pic? :lol:

Fuel pump, gotta be fuel pump.
Check the lines coming in and leaving it could be one of those that just needs tightening.

I could only hope! I'll check it out after when my engine cools down a bit.

You could be right on track with one of those flexible fuel hoses there Frodo! :lol:
It could also be a rusted out fuel or fuel return line, they both run through that area and are subjected to road grime. :cheers:

I had a rusted fuel line in my 69 Camaro. It had rusted right through. Started out as just a gas smell in the garage. Progressed to a leak with a puddle over night. Cut out the section and put in rubber fuel line till I had time to replace the line. Bubba fix but it kept me going.

I'm thinking it's just something to do with the soft line because i wasn't driving anywhere and the puddle was right under the passenger side wheel well. If i was driving, i'd suspect that but who knows...I'll look at it tomorrow when there is light and see.

Thanks for the help
:cheers:

One of these is the culprit. Don't let it go! Glass does not melt in a pretty fashion. And those hoses are NOT available from GM. They will try to sell you bulk fuel line. Does not work; it crimps. They are molded hoses. So you have to go aftermarket.

Thanks Paul, I greatly appreciate the help (again). I'll be making a trip to napa or kragen or somewhere and pick up some hoses.
