    Tinkering with
    My 94 379 and I found this air leak. The part in on firewall near the city horn. It got dark on me so I did not try and trace the air lines down.

    it is wet in photos as I just sprayed it with soapy water. 5B152B12-E188-4917-AD31-4B0FEC852670.jpeg

    That is what I was thinking as the exit runs up towards front of motor. Leaking pretty bad.

    I’ll be able to see it in the morning a bit better.

    thanks

    Looks like a filter attached to the solenoid. I am wondering if it is loose.
    Looks like it has been on there for some years so I will more than likely replace it and the solenoid.

    Could be the oring on that bowl or it might just need to be tightened a little

    Did you try unscrewing the bowl?

    It was loose, however the plastic piece that goes through the filter and screws into the assembly was broken. So I just went and picked up a whole new assembly. Figure I might as well replace it all.
