My 84 GSL-SE had a terrible fuel leak cominf from the area in the picture. No I have a manual but I am a true noob. What is this thing called? How had is it to replace? The best I can tell this is where the fuel is leaing from. I really dont want a pro to fix this so I am going to try to figure it out and fix it myself. Just a little direction to help me get started if anyone is familia with a leak from this area. Also, would pressing the plate inside the air filter cause fuel to go all the way through this system? Or is that just useful when doing a fuel volume test.

Thanks for telling me what it is. While I cant be for absolute certain that is where the fuel is coming from. I took the cap off and saw a small screw fall out. So Can someone tell me with that screw out, the thing should spew gas right? I read further about a banjo bolt mod and ordered one. I may just go out there and attempt to put the screw back in and see what happens

Ok so I put the thing back in as tight I could (using my fingers and the small tip of a screw driver) and fifred it up. As of right now it appears the leak is gone! I am going to have to wait till tomorrow to let all the gas that was on the engine to dry up then I will see it there are any more leaks. THANK YOU RX7CLUB

i've also had some luck with smearing some locate red on the threads to promote it to staying in there.

if the damper is bad, i'd order one, and the fuel injector o rings, and the 2 throttle body coolant hoses, they all tend to be bad at the same time, and its been a couple of decades
