Smile just got done fixing all fuel and oil leaks......for now.

2 weeks ago i noticed that i was leaking oil from my oil lines. They were both leaking right at the banjo fittings. so i called ray at malloy and bought new ones. Finally got them in the car. I drove it around for about a day or two and then started smelling fuel. My fpd (fuel pulsation dampener) was leaking..... so i had to order a new one of those. Just put it in the car today and drove it around. NO MORE LEAKS, for now at least. So now i just need to save some money, get it tuned and i will be able to sleep better at night.

Glad you got it whupped! Too many people put off those fixes and leaks, and that's what bites you in the butt. Especially gas leaks!

How many miles were on the parts that were replaced?

Teflon tape only helps with pipe fittings. The banjo bolts use crush washers to seal.
