So for update. The gas smell is still there. During only on cold starts, but eventually goes away. My plans were to call dealer and try to see what they can do, if there's a recall and if nothing they can do but to charge me an arm and a leg to take off my intake manifold to tighten the rest of the clamps..Imma have to call up SOA for help. Apprently, is happening to a lot of 04+ wrx as well. I've been reading on forester fourms and nasioc..that's its been happening to both foresters xt and sti's. Some got lucky with SOA and subaru fixed the issues and some are sol...so keep you guys posted . Thanks again.

 

the rubber hoses or o-rings are likely expanding once heated up and stop leaking, then cool and leak, and repeat.

PM tofuman and see if he can take a look. he does good work.

 

Fosure .. I was gonna text bryce. Just want to be sure i can't figure it out before bothering a local member . I'm sure he's got other things better to do heh. Thanks for the heads up tho. I'm hitting rock bottom on this so. I should be in contact with him soon
