Hi all,
I have an old legacy, and in cold weather recently I started smelling fuel in my car.
I popped open the engine bay, and was able to identify a slow bubbling of fuel from a line under the intake manifold near the driver side.
I guess this is a common problem in cold weather where the rubber lines shrink down and the clamps get a little loose.
In warm weather now I'm not seeing any leaking at all, but want to tighten it up before it gets cold again in case this happens again. (Who knows, maybe it will resolve itself and it was only in extremely cold temps).
I'm trying to access the phillips head screw, but only have ~ 1/2 - 3/4" of clearance to get to it in a very tight space to tighten it.
Any tips? I really really really don't want to have to take this to someone to disassemble the intake manifold.

I tried using an offset phillips wrench, but it was a little too deep at ~ 1 1/8".
Any other tips for getting in there? Has anyone dealt with the same?
