I have been smelling gas, very strong on some cold starts, but only some. I thoght it was the vapor canister so I replaced what appeared damaged, but I still smelled it. Anyways, I started wondering about the injectors, I have inspected every inch of the fuel lines, they are ok. Well I cleaned everything up real nice earlier this week and waited, this morning started it up and smelled it again, checked and there is a puddle of gas around the passenger side, middle injector. I can't see where its coming from, tho, but I am guessing the o-ring, but I guess it could be the injector or fuel rail. Anybody had this kinda problem, I would like to get an idea before I start tearing down. Thx.
 






Well I got to work this afternoon, replaced all twelve o-rings and put in new gaskets, and managed to f%#k it all up. I am pissed at myself for not priming the fuel rail first to check for leaks, even debated it, but decided not to. So tomorrow I get to do it all over again.
