Message	or talcum powder test. You've been around TTnet a while, so I assume you've read the million cautions about driving your car without finding that leak. ..... The longer starting time is probably because the fuel pressure is draining down while the car is parked. You could confirm this by turning the key on, but don't try to start the car, a few times. This will allow the fuel pump to re-pressurize the system (you have to do it a few times because the fuel pump only runs a few seconds if you don't start the car). At that point, it will probably start right up.
