Soooo, went to put on my j code intake, noticed some fuel in the valley. Thought simple, just change the filter to IP line. Batteries disconnected and I have an electric fuel pump.

Changed line, connected batts and no leak, sweet or so I thought. Starting putting together the intake, and as I was torquing the bolts I noticed the same puddle in the valley again, WTF? So I connect power and watch...

I have a 1 drip per second coming from where the throttle linkage connects to the IP, and I can't see how that's possible? I get that's the connection point, but how do I go about repairing it....new IP??

Bummer, thought I was making progress on this build :/
