    That is sweet!! So you just put the tube into that adapter? or is there welding involved?

    Looks like a good solution!  :clapping:

    You cut the bottom of the filler tube off with a tubing cutter (about an inch and a half) ,put some silicone inside the the new adapter tip,and shove the tube down into the adapter till it bottoms out on the step inside.  :2thumbs:

    You'll have to lay under and take a look, I am almost certain that this is at least one of my leaks if not the only one.

    I've got a good sized puddle under mine as well.  I got a seals kit off ebay that I'm going to start installing soon.  You know, it isn't as easy to crawl around under a jacked up car as it used to be......

    Later, Jim

    Just got it today!  :woohoo:

    Looks like the extra seal is a little better "ribbed" than the one that comes with the kit.
