The first thing you might want to try would be to leave the car somewhere safe for about a week with a little gas in the tank, and run the engine so that all the lines get filled. You may find that after a week or so the leak will stop on its own. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
