I went to start the car today and immediately smelling gas fumes, opened the hood and saw gas on the valve cover near the firewall. Any ideas what this might be? I think I will have it towed in tomorrow, seams like a recipe for disaster if I try to drive it there.

 

One of the injector hoses, I'll bet. Replace 'em all while your luck is holding out.

-6 injector hoses +1 cold start injector hose
-Fuel supply hose into the fuel rail
-Small hose at pressure regulator
-Small hose at front of cylinder head
-Two hoses at the fuel cooler
-Return hose to the tanks

I think that covers it!

good luck...I hate dealing with gas

 

Is this a big job?

 

Nah. Three hours or so. No biggie.

I want to do the same thing to my car as preventative maintenance while I am swapping out my vacuum lines and have a little more open space. I have located all the other fuel lines, but can you tell me where the ones listed above are located? I've tried following the fuel line around the engine bay but lose the path once it heads under the smog pump.

Thanks,

Eric

 

Fixed my issue, it was the top hose very noticeable. Just replaced that one though, not everything.
