It probably IS gas, and this is VERY important to fix. Open your engine cover and take a look at the top side of the engine above that head. Use a flashlight if necessary. Do you see any wetness? It is common for the fuel hoses to spring leaks. This is just a medium job to replace the hoses, and even the hoses crimped to the injectors can and should be replaced. Replace all of them while you're at it, unless the one that is leaking was obviously not replace when all the others were. Not fixing this carries the risk of losing your car in a fire. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
