Wolfy Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hey everyone, I've just put the car back on the road after it being stored away over the winter. An hour into the Sunday night drive, I notice a fuel leaking coming from the rear left wheel. It is only leaking while stationary. After jacking it up, It appears to be coming from one of the three pipes located right near the tank, most likely the middle one. My idea at the moment is to remove the pipes, give them a clean and replace the current spring clips with jubilee clips. If anyone can give me any suggestions or advice, It be much appreciated.

johned Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Check under the back seat as the pipes can corrode as they go through the grommet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you elaborate please. What am I looking for? I’ll have to check later but I can’t remember seeing any pipes under there last time I had all that out. Here’s a photo to give you and everyone an idea of my issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johned Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If the 2006 sti is like the classic impreza the pipes rust as they go through the grommet under the back seat and the leaking petrol runs down them to the joints in your picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
