Too many leaks to keep up with

All in the same month

1. radiator inlet for trans cooler < fixed (thank you jb weld)
2. radiator connection from the heater core < fixed (thank you jb weld)
3. heater core leaking bad < fixed by capping off at the intake and radiator and will replace heater core at some point
4. fuel pump connection from tank to fuel pump < fixed
5. fuel pump connection from fuel pump to carb < fixed (I think) < replaced fuel pump


6. I need ya'lls help on this one:
I'm getting what appears to be fuel (it smells a little like fuel) splashed on the passenger side inner fender. I can't seam to isolate where the leak is coming from. How's the fuel getting all the way up there?

Also my new fuel pump has a return line that I just capped off, is there any problem with that?

You could just toss a lit match to it to know for sure if it is gas or not...lol.

Man I wish I thought of that one first! Hold On, I'll Be Right Back....

Actually, I tasted it and it tastes a lot like chicken.

I don't think I'd be wasting any time finding the source, either. It may be that the match that someone else mentioned is one that ignites the fuel while your driving.....not a good event, unless it's chicken.

Re: Too many leaks to keep up with

My guess is the fuel pump. Run engine and check the lower part of fuel pump leaking.
