ok i noticed a little bit of fuel leaking from one of the hoses, only a couple of drips at first but now ive seen a complete spray almost! (ive even tried tightening the clamps) but heres the thing, it goes away after the car is warmed up, supposably it happens all the time ONLY when its cold which unfortunatly in nyc its 20 degrees -__- so id like to varify if its only the cold and not my lines and see if anyones had this problem before.

ps. last week i had the car in a warm shop for 2 days and when i started it.. no horrible gas smell?? maybe it really is just the cold.

info anyone?

Cold weather makes the hoses expand. One thing I will tell you is definitely changed that hose with a nissan hose. Use this write up to help diagnose the problem.
