Should these nipples have hoses on them .... and whats that smoke :)

Hey guys I was looking under the hood of my new FD and noticed a few nipples had no hoses on them. Is it important that there are hoses attached to them? And if so where should they be going to?


Also I have smoke/fumes coming out of the engine somewhere. It smells like gas. (If it means anything I found a small amount of oil (about a 1/4 tablespoon worth) in the pipe that connects to the turbochargers)

Anyone have any idea where I should be looking for it?

Wait, wait...so considering what went down with your convertible, the heaviest model made, you sure it's wise to have moved into an FD?

I think he means it is easier to flip an FD.

At least you have a roof now. Try to keep it that way.
