My wife wouldn't let me drive it anymore with the gas smell, so into Canadian Tire we go.
It's the regulator leaking sure enough. The mechanic says that the #6 fuel injector may have a leak as well but he can't tell if its just the leak from the regulator which is leaking all over the injector. Once he gets the part and cleans it up, he'll know. It's the difference between a $400 fix, or a $1000.
Also, he said I shouldn't drive it until it's fixed as, apparently, it's a fire hazard! Fuel dripping on exhaust manifold. Seemed legit to me.
So now my VX is sitting at the garage, waiting for the part.

I know it's at the garage right now, but changing out the fuel pressure regulator is a super easy job.

If you are so inclined, you could get your VX home and do the fix yourself.

I would definitely take this on if a) I had a garage to work in, or b)it wasn't -32 (89 fahrenheit)
Thanks for the link though. That's a pretty thorough walkthrough!

Oof! Understood. I guess the good thing is that at those temperatures the gas should just freeze so no more gas leak issue.

Sorry, my conversion was off. I meant -25 Fahrenheit. Anyway, stupid cold!Oof! Understood. I guess the good thing is that at those temperatures the gas should just freeze so no more gas leak issue.
