So upon installing my boost gauge i start up the car to confirm a vac reading/check my wiring. I leave the car idle and do the usual walk around, inspection for leaks when I find fuel dripping down on the passenger side of car towards the back of the motor. Of course I immidiately shut the car down but now I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of where I should start looking.

FYI I have a JDM '92 RHD...so when I say passenger side, I mean the left hand side of the car

 

the fuel system. lines & rails.

 

Your last commend mixed me up, when you say passenger side... Do you mean the drivers side in the US???

Obviously you did something if it was not an issue before installing the gauge. Back track what you were doing while installing, did you tug something too hard? Did you crack a hose???

I am not sure where exactly is located since I haven't owned a 7 in two years but take a look at your Fuel Pulsation Dampener and see if that is the culprit.

 

Yes, when I say passenger side I mean the drivers side of USDM cars.

As for doing something in the process of installing the gauge I find it highly unlikely. It's a mechanical gauge, so I ran the vacuum hose through the rubber grommet around the steering shaft, and hooked it onto the spare nipple on the UIM, putting the hose through the grommetwas not a challenge, my coat hanger never hit anything and there was no resistance in the installation process.

I believe it's the extreme cold temperatures (-40 C) and a hose may have cracked in running it

 

Just check the turbo feed and return lines. Thats pretty much all it can be. Do not drive or start the car this way, if you have any tears in the spark plug wires teh car will ignite in a hurry.

 

It's usually easier to say drivers left or right as it doesn't matter where the driver sits at this point and references the car from the drivers point of view (sure eliminates any confusion) and this is just a suggestion. I would suspect fuel line or perhaps even the charcoal canister as the fuel pulsation dampener is located under the UIM and not a noticeable leak.

 

Thanks for the input guys, I'm gonna get the car up on jack stands tomorrow and start hunting, just wanted some input on where to really start looking

 

u dont need the car up on jackstands.
u need to remove the uim to expost the fuel system
