i'm getting a leakage of fuel from the back of the engine area, haven't had much experience with this kind of thing in the zeds but i've heard of problems with the cold start injector leaking fuel before in other cars.. could be something to do with the cold start injector or i was also thinking fuel line... input v.much appreciated cheers fellas ps. once i realised it was fuel i've stopped driving it.. thought it would be better to type this from my home..and not the burns ward
any number of those small fuel pipes could be cracked, or the clamps could have become loose with age... check all your clamps and pipes for cracks.... also check connections to filter just incase, even tho you say its from the back area..
We were looking at this sorta stuff today when repairing my Z. The fuel lines at the back end of the motor there are common to start degrading and they are easy to replace if you follow the tech manual. I am actually going to be doing this myself tomorrow with braided lines that I use for the motorcycles I own. At the top of the plenum towards the back there are a few common ones to go from heat degredation. These are the main ones I will be replacing. Not sure if these would be the same ones as yours but it sounds quite simmilar and you might get away without having to remove the plenum though it does make life easier. Peace and I will help more tomorrow after I have done mine, once I have done it I will know more about what im saying . . lol.
When replacing, there are NO fuel lines that will require plenum removal. SOME fuel additives in use today, have a deleterious effect on the rubber compounds used in OEM hoses from 20 yrs ago. This may cause "weeping" through the walls of the hoses as they become porous over time. New fuel hosing is more resistant to this problem.
