I'll second, third, ?????, that!.

Saturday I fired up our van for the first time in a while to use it for a
shopping run and refresh my memory of what needs attention before we ship
it to Seattle in preparation of a month long trip through the Southwest in
mid-December.  I backed it out of the driveway(got to fix that e-brake) and
let it idle in the street.  A couple minutes later I looked over and saw a
large puddle under the back end.  After racing over and turning off the
ignition I discovered it was fuel.  Further examination revealed a leak
from the fuel line that comes up to the top of the engine from the drivers
side.  Thankfully I caught it before anything worse happened as Westy
Syncro Flambe is not a pretty sight.  We had previously replaced some of
the fuel lines but the shop that did them had for some not done this line
too.  Not wanting to deal with this in the dark and cold since Winter has
finally arrived the van is now at a Shop for fuel line replacement, oil
change, and a thorough inspection before we put it on a truck to Seattle.
