Moved meth tank and pump to trunk. Nice improvement to meth flow and I actually get to use map 4!

After the drive, popped the hood and this is what I saw.



Dark parts on the pipe are wet.

Should I be concerned? Any putty I could use to seal the leak?

Just change out the meth hoses to new ones. I bet there is a crack in one of them

Prime the pump manually and see what is leaking. It's either:
-The line itself is cracked.
-Line is not sitting in clean in the nozzle so you need to cut it straight and re-insert.
-It's leaking at the threads which means you might want to use a little bit of teflon tape.

Actually you may want to check the nozzles and ensure it's screwed in properly. In my case, one of the nozzles where a tad loose. I use a mix of boost juice so it stains when it leaks so i noticed pretty much right away. Tighten the nozzles on the jet adapter, all was good.

you could have also broken the nozzle seal. hand tight then a 1/4 turn.

cracked line, guaranteed

it's probably the smallest crack too

Does anyone think that the pattern of that wet area looks more like a blowby leak from the silicone hose behind the nozzles?

Sure way to know is if the area stays permanently damp/oily.......if it was meth it would evaporate fairly quickly and be dry in short order.

Doesn't look like a meth leak to me. I have had a leak that sprayed meth all over my hood and never saw it until I replaced meth with 100% water and saw the water spots.

i agree with this and the above, pattern doesnt look right, and meth dries pretty quick , id pull the hoses, plug the ends and purge to see if it is even a meth leak, looks like its oily and coming from that elbow coupler

More I look at it the more it makes sense. I dont think it's methanol either. OP you sure its not an oily substance?

log to see if boost is leaking??

[MrHeavyFoot]

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions guys!

I'll go clean the area then drive hard and see what happens when meth sprays. I'm using 50-50 and hope I see something if I stop and check within a minute or two.

I've tried priming the pump before, but leaks, if any, happen after the (fast-acting?) valve and that doesn't open until it gets instructions from the Procede I'm guessing.

I'm also hoping it's not from over-tightening the nozzles! Already happened once when installed at the shop and I had to order two new nozzles from Robert.

Lines from FAV to nozzles are easy to replace, I'll do that to be safe - thanks!

Will meth and teflon tape cause problems?

I seem to be hitting my boost targets according to the dash dials. What should I log to determine if boost is leaking? I've got a Procede Rev 3.

Was reluctant to bump this thread but thought some closure was required.

Cleaned the area, wiggled the pipe and tightened it some. It's been almost a week and the area is still clean. No leaking nozzles

Thanks for the help guys!
