08redgt500 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I noticed this when I picked up the car in April, but had forgotten about it. See attached picks for a better description of the problem. I may be using improper terminology, but it looks like some fluid, perhaps fuel, leaked or is leaking around the tube that goes between the fuel rails (up and over the SC). See pics attached. Any one else have these stains, and/or know what may have caused them? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine since day 1 too. Maybe a byproduct of the tigg welds when fabbing the rails? I'll not worry about it..... Thanks for the replies folks.....

Here's a few...See profile for what I've done SO far... Latest changes are Glassback, and I just ordered a bunch of J&M suspension components, mainly to eliminate the wheel hop issue, lower a tad(1.2") and flatten in corners.
