New to forum, not so much to blazers
Howdy howdy everyone.
First post, yes I do own a 4th generation celica. Jasmine (my celica) is my 300hp sleeper :P This is my 4th blazer (84 S15 Jimmy 2.8 4wd, 89 S10 Blazer 4.3 4wd and a K5 blazer).
Anyway, bought it DOA. Previous owner said MAF was bad causing fuel dump. Pulled out whatever that dohicky is on the top of the plenum, raw gas smell just wafted out. Pulled off plenum, both sides were wet. Replaced the EGR, flipped the key to on, and a pinhole leak came spraying out of the #4 hose (right middle). She has 207k miles on her, no leaks, everything seems great except for this leak. Is it possible to just replace the 1 line or repair it or should I just bite the bullet & replace the whole spider? The leaky line was rubbing up against the fuel return line for who knows how long and wore through creating the leak.

Thanks.
General concensus online shows that it's not worth it to try to rebuild/replace one of the lines but to rather replace the whole unit. Ordered one from CSK for 175, gonna swap that out this week sometime if I have time.
Seeing as how I had a small pool of fuel on the right side, mostly towards the #6 cylinder I'm going to change the oil anyway. Not sure if any or how much made it to the drainhole a few inches forward and would rather be safe than sorry before trying to start the beast.
