Hey guys!

So my fuel economy has been terrible (like 5mpg) and with gas prices soaring, I decided to add UV dye to my tank to see if there's a leak somewhere. Well I found one. It's right behind the engine, pics attached.

So what am I looking at for a repair here? Am I going to have to pull out the motor? Any and all advice welcomed (except buy a diff car cuz im broke as f*** dumping $150ish in the damn tank per week).

That's an ac leak there most likely. Do you smell raw fuel? How does it run?
 






Fuel leak online monitored every warm cycle and will be immediatly detected by EVAP system and DTC light will be turned on.

Your photos possibly describing some kind of PAG oil leakage on a/c rubber crimped hoses
