gas leaking...plz help

My gas is leaking right under the throttle sensor.
I can't find a part name in the owners manual nor in the Haynes book.

Thank you in advance...

It sounds like you have a leaking pulsation dampener. DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR until you fix it. If you continue to drive it, it will catch on fire, causing thousands of dollars of damage.
There is also a very small chance it is just a fuel line that is bad, but the outcome is the same.

i think like 200 bucks from mazdatrix.com but dont quote me on that, i would also check all your fuel lines

JUST PAY THE 200 BUCKS, you car WILL eventually catch on fire and it will destroy the car and could possable kill you, dont drive it until you fix the fuel leak


i know that seems a bit harsh but i cant tell you how many times ive read threads with pictures of engine fires

I think I now know the cause of my engine fire...I thought it was electrical...but after putting my finger on the pd and feeling no pulse...I think it caused the fire when it crapped out...I've been driving around forever with it like this...verry verry bad...I'm glad I was one of the lucky ones to catch my fire early...it managed only to damaged the ACV harness and pressure sensor hose...a $1 fix...

Yeah, the banjo bolt mod is a good cost effective way of fixing it.
