Re: Fuel leak
Looking at the diagram in the manual I see 4 fittings.
1 At the bottom of the FPR to the return line which I think goes into a short pience of hose (potential leak).
2 The pressure line from the FP at the fuel rail driver’s side.
3 & 4 Are two connections just to the rear and above (hard to tell exactly) that portion of the transfer case that goes to the front drive line connecting to the two short pieces of hose to fuel lines on the frame.
Also there's an o-ring where the FPR connects to the fuel rail but unless you've replaced the FPR I would not suspect that.
The fuel pump runs for 2 secs when you turn on the key (and I believe there's a way to make it run continuously but I'm no help here) so by laying on top of the motor with a helper turning on the key you could look back by the dist and see whats going on.
I wouldn't drive it untill fixed.
Hope this helps.

Re: Fuel leak
on the passanger side of the motor, by the distributor kind of. Just follow the pass. side fuel rail and you will see it.

Re: Fuel leak
From what I've read, many people who have to replace the fuel lines go with braided stainless. Some buy lines from an auto parts store then bend them to fit, and while it is less expensive its a much bigger hassle IMO. Having just replaced the feed line, I would highly recommend the braided lines. I know all the fitting sizes needed can be found here in various threads. HTH

Yes I drive a Typhoon.
Re: Fuel leak
Did a quick search and found this thread.... I just got my Typhoon out to run to the Gym and sitting in the driveway idling it is leaking fuel and is dripping off the transfer case.
I checked the fuel filter and lines near there, fpr and injectors etc and cannot locate the leak.
I guess I'm going to crawl back up under it to see if it is the lines on top of the transmission.
Was the exact cause of this ever pin pointed? If so what did you have to do to correct?

Re: Fuel leak
I would guess its a leak at the back of the fuel rail on the drivers side, its right by the coil, you probably need a new fuel line O-ring where the line connects to the fuel rail.

Re: Fuel leak
I checked that area and tried to squeeze my hand and fill around and didn't see or fill it leaking from there but my flashlight went dead. I'll get batteries and look again.
I just crawled out from under it again and cannot find where the leak is coming from. I felt all around on top of the transmission and transfer case. No luck. Its also freezing outside. I guess I will wait till it warms up a little more and mess with it again.

Re: Fuel leak
I had to replace the fuel lines, which while in place are pita. I ended making a custom line up to the fuel rail. Whenever I do some motor work, I will put some nice AN lines on it. I believe I still have the stock ones I purchased from a member here as I didnt use them.
