Hello all,
Hoping someone might have experience with this so I don't have to rip the whole area apart to troubleshoot. My 9-3 has developed a leak NEAR the fuel filter. The fuel is literally dripping off the middle of the filter, pretty much right around where the band clamp is. The connections on the ends of the filter appear tight and dry, and the filter doesn't appear to be damaged in any way, so I'm not convinced it's the filter itself.
Is there anything ABOVE The filter that might be leaking down on to it? Of course it's pretty much impossible to see up there. The leak only seems to happen when the car is running, and it's a drip every few seconds. Happens no matter what the fuel level is in the tank, and doesn't seem to have any relationship to when I fill the tank or how I drive.
