ok a small oil leak turned up once again, was the dizzy o-ring, but me being me, decided to just purchase a rebuilt one from road and track, completely ruling out that being an issue at all...
 
been away with work a heap, just need the axel seals done and the car is also booked in for the 17 august for a tune...
 
also, I have purchased a new tow rig

man this s*^t never ends...
 
I finished everything that I thought needed doing, started the car up and after about 1 minute, i found a fuel leak coming from a hard line that runs along the firewall...
 
whats the best way to fix this? I only have 1 week to fix this issue as its booked into the tuner again. Id prefer not take it out, is it possible to put something around it at all to solve the issue or is there no other option but to pull it off and fix?

What pressure reg are you running?  Pretty sure that whole line is pretty easy to replace on a stock style setup.  I guess you could replace the lot with fuel hose?

nah all good man, I just bypassed the hard line that was leaking with a new fuel line... no more leaks...
 
another question though, what size copper washer should I get to put on the gearbox filler plug as mine has split and slowly leaking

I too am chasing leaks, URGH!! its the two fittings onto my sandwich plate.  They're in a crap spot and its next to impossible to get them to seat properly so they weep.  I'm going to change them for ORB hose ends and eliminate the compression fitting all together.
 
Other than that I need to retorque my head studs, install boost solenoid and rebuild my dissy as it friggin leaky too.  Then its power tune time.  Oh and just put Totens old gearbox in it.
