Consumer stated that while driving and without warning anti freeze will leak from the engine cause and distraction to the consumer. Dealer notified. Ts

When the weather turned cold the junction of a small, plastic fuel line with an overlapping rubber fuel line (held together with a large crimp connector) started to leak directly on the distributor cap. The rubber in the fuel line had degraded and cracked. This crimp connector could not be tightened or easily replaced to eliminate the leak. Many eurovan owners on the internet have reported similar fuel leaks. I couldn't afford to take the vehicle in to the dealer for repair so i replaced the degraded rubber hose myself, using rubber hose from an auto parts store and screw-type stainless steel hose clamps. *ak
