ahh I've been smelling this horrible gas smell in my car for about a month now. I haven’t did anything about it because I figured it was something to do with the throttle body which is suppose to be being replaced soon because my car is also been revving at 3 grand(for about 3 months now). I finally decided to go look for the leaking gas today ...And one of the fuel injectors(?) is leaking gas everywhere. It looks like a waterfall running down all the back of the block, and whatever else is back there. Its making it down onto the exhaust too. Its leaking really bad. This is not good.. What is going on here? What needs to be done? Does this have anything to do with the TB? I was wondering why I was only getting 40 km to 16 bucks of regular ...non turbo btw help

The injector seals eh. Are those the little piece of rubber inside the injecrors? Would this gas problem be making the car rev high?? Or is that still another problem?

Replacing the injector O-ring is really easy. If you needed some advice on how to replace it drop me a PM or email or I can post in this thread and general guide for you. Like everyone else has suggested, do NOT drive the car. Hot engine + gas = Scotty
