20210406FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

FUEL LINE, SUPPLY LINE FROM HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP TO ENGINE, HAS NOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO LEAKING. THE LEAKING IS MORE LIKE A SPRAYING AND CAUSING GAS TO GET ALL OVER THE ENGINE BAY AND THE GROUND. THIS OCCURS MOST WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. WHEN THE CAR IS OFF IT IS A LEAK WITH ABOUT 10 DROPS PER MINUTE.
