1990 vw corrado g60 gas leak

[btsherrill77]

Hello all.. new to site thought i would throw this out there regarding an issue that just recently started with my car. I have a gas leak that is coming from somewhere on the top of the engine.. im not to good when it comes to mech. any thoughts. i have replaced the entire fuel system from fuel pumps to fuel injectors. didn't replace fuel rail or fuel pressure reg/ now since the fuel rail is cheap plastic and is almost 21 years old could it be cracked? and thus the leak... any help would be appreciated.

when replacing injectors did you replace the injector cups?

You also did not mention that you replaced the fuel lines, they are important. Also, make sure you use good clamps for those lines to prevent damage to the ends of the lines. Many choose to replace the fuel rail with a metal BBM one. I believe the recently put them on sale for a ridiculously low price, so low that it makes the used one I bought look like a waste of money.

If you want to buy an excellent condition OEM rail, I have two. PM me.

The line and clamps to the after run switch at the end of the rail will eventually leak. Scary stuff as the fuel drips straight down to the exhaust mani. Check all your fuel lines, replace as necessary and use correct clamps.
