totally got ripped off on my gs-t, so im fixing everything as i go. now everything is running fine except i smell gas and i think my mas is bad cause the car idles the same wether its on or off....

but my question is. what is a checklist to go through when looking for a fuel leak, cause i smell gas BAD
 
take the rear seats off and see if you are getting a very strong smell from there. for the fuel just check every fuel line there is.
 
i took the seats off, it dont smell any stronger under the seats than inside the car anywhere else. i did see my oil return line is leaking at the oil pan, so i need to replace that. where can i find that fitting? or will i need a whole new return line?
 
Yeah, I would try replacing the MAS, when mine went out it was accompanied by the gas smell, just do it now before your engine gets flooded on a major highway like mine.
 
ok i got my safc II already, should i replace the stock mas and use the afc, or go ahead and go with the GM MAF and MAFT? im thinking stock mas
