Folks,
Went out to a recently restarted 914 this am to grab some tools and noticed a wet spot under the car -- passenger side. Big wet spot. I'm thinking hmm I don't recall any rain--hmm--what's that smell??? It's gas of course. So I'm about to go look closer -- is there an easy way to pinch off or plug the incoming gas line while I sort out the real leak? tia kim. |
