Description of the problem	My 2004 baja turbo has the gas leak problem in the manifold area. Have replaced hoses and clamps 3 times on the two that are visible. Gas pools on the manifold from a slow leak, fumes in the cabin, must drive with windows down. This happens during colder temps, probably 20 and below. Fumes upon startup and lasts about an hour when first occurred. Now when occurs fumes do not diminish. Have cleaned manifold with engine cleaner to remove residual fuel smell. Dealer had mentioned that something was incorrect about fuel lines when car was in for unrelated repair during warmer temps. A note was on the repair invoice but service advisor had no idea what it meant as the mechanics had already gone for the day. I decided to enter this after finding similar problems reported.
