Sorry want mean Q-BOG. And want seals you add to change? Sound like I have the same issue.

Q-BOG, probably another term for Quadrajunk.

Yes its quadrajet or better known as quadrabog. They have plugs at the bottom of the mail fuel bowl (design flaw? or just ease of manufacture?) Anyway this new gas destroys the seals. A buddy who works on a ton of GM stuff says this is getting to be a BIG issue for guys in the GM camp. We sealed it up w  JBweld but then he put some time of clear coating over that. Anyway it sat on the bench for 3 days and didn't loose a drop, so I'm guessing it worked. Spring will tell all as I mentioned she just went into storage for the winter.

This all being said. I NEVER had this issue till 2013. I've owned this car twice as long as I've owned NIKKI, so I don't know if there was another "reformulation in '13 or not.

We used JBWeld on them routinely.  Fixed the problem for good.

Funny I thought they called them quadra-junks

I used epoxy on the farm truck and it's been years since it's leaked and this truck is not treated well or stored nicely at all. It's basically 10 feet from a swamp and it sits out all winter. It died this summer when I was running through a seldomly used feild and the tall grass was hiding a large boulder that quickly made scrap metal of the transmission case.
