huge gas leak

The red circles are where the leak is occurring. when the car is on, boy is that thing leaking. Thank goodness I noticed the smell when I first started the car :tapemouth.

Also, is this an easy fix? Like just replacing the hose and the connector?

It should be and easy fix. That rubber line goes from the fuel rail (under the silver insulating material) to the carb. Just make sure you get the right size hose and it is fuel rated. Did you pull these hose off to see if it is split? Maybe the connector is just loose?

I had a limited amount of time but the next time I get to the car i'll be sure to do that!

Not sure if this is the best place to do this but.. Mike, I've been an avid reader of zcars.com but this is pretty much my first serious post. You've basically given an answer for every thread I've read. Thank you so much for all the advice you've indirectly given me! I'm only 17 but at least I can say I have my dream car.
