Message	Hey guys, I just took my car out of a 6-month storage a few days ago and everything seemed fine throughout the 60 miles that I had driven. Then today, right as I started the car, I could smell fuel inside the cabin. I got out, popped up the hood, did the sniffing test and found the leak to be coming from under the throttle cable cover. I could even see fuel dripping down every second or so. Here are two pictures for your reference: I shut off the car and 5 minutes later, as i turned on the Z to move it back into my garage, the leak disappeared. I managed to tighten the clamp on the left but there is no way of reaching the clamp on the right. I would like to be as cautious as possible. Should I replace the fuel line? And how do I reach it without removing the entire plenum? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
