Default Power Steering Fluid and Another Fuel Leak (( 02-12-23 ))

I had filled the Power Steering Reservoir prior to the first start and I forgot to check the fluid levels after we started
the car. A couple days later I decided to check the fluid levels and guess what it was empty.







Andrew AKA Dr. EFI Noticed the O2 reading were all over the place so I ordered a new new Holley O2 Sensor from Summit.





Apparently I missed the pft tape on this fitting. So now I am going back and correcting this major mistake as
I don't want the car to catch on fire. I will need to empty the fuel line again and yes I wish would have fixed both fuel
issue's at the same time.







I also disconnected the Fuel Pump power so the fuel wouldn't drip on the weatherpack connector.



Once the fuel stopped leaking I reconnected the line.



I used some simple green to dilute the fuel and poured the mixture into a small bottle that I will drop off at my
buddy's shop for him to dispose of properly.



Look Ma...No Tape !!





Now I get to remove one of my many notes.
