Message Hey All,

A while back, I posted in the tech forum because I was having problems starting my car. It has been in storage in my cold garage for about 2 months, and a member had told me it was a problem related to fuel pressure. I then ran an ECU Diagnostic check and came up with a Code 13. Unfortunately, I neglected my Z for quite a while after that because I've been so busy with school, but last night, I tried to start my car again and this is what I found:

Is my Z leaking fuel?!

I tried to source the leak, but had a very tough time. I got my car rust-proofed right before storage, so essentially everything under my car is wet and gross. Here are some pics I took of what I thought it could be though:

Passenger Side, Bottom of Alternator was wet

Driver's Side

I only bought my tools to attempt to work on the Z a while ago, so I'm a huge n00b, and to be honest I have no clue what I'm looking for, or where this leak is coming from. Could any of you please explain to me where the leak is coming from and/or how to fix this problem? Or if you could even circle one of the parts in the pics I took, I would appreciate that enormously.

Sigh, everytime I see pictures of many of your beautiful 300ZX's, I get so jealous, envious and depressed. I keep on envisioning what I want my Z to look like in the future, but then sadly realize how long it will actually take to achieve my dreams. Although I only got the car last summer, I'm slowly losing hope, and I feel like I'm not progressing at all because of all the problems that must be addressed, and all the maintenance I have to put into the car first. What's your secret? How do you guys do it?

Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

As an added bonus, here's a pic of one of my many other problems - The leaking rear main seal:

5-Speed Swap, here I come!
