Yeah, getting our older cars to stop leaking is an ongoing problem! When I got my car this past November, I found the gas tank leaked when I filled it full. When I got it home, I found the old owner put RTV type stuff all around the filler tank grommet to try to stop the leak. Guess it was too much work to simply change the grommet! I pulled the grommet, scraped all the "pookie" off around the tank opening, and installed a new grommet. Lubed the filler tube and reinstalled it. No more leaks. Funny!
people are lazy. But I understand that some people dont have the physical ability or even the cash to do a proper fix so they jerry rig it. But I cant have bad work on my conscious so I always try and do the job right.
