 Just as a word of warning -

 If you suspect an injector line leak, don't attempt to "feel" for it, as
there is a real chance of subdermal injection of diesel fuel. The remedy for
this is to remove the affected flesh. Same goes for brake lines, or any high
pressure hydraulic system, for that matter.

 Be Careful!
