Gas Leak?

[Preluder77]

I have a gass leak and it seems to be coming from the canister in the front driver side of the car also a lil puddle under the injector but nothing else was wet around that area. Any ideas? Is the canister bad?

the vent from the fuel tank runs up there. if you look down at the motor standing in front of the car right on the frame you will see a metal line that bends up toward you and connects to the canister via hose check there. im not sure if the canister is bad i dont run one.

What are the pros and cons of removing the canister?

The canister is just for absorbing vapors and there should not be a puddle of gas comming from it. What injector is leaking and could it be running down somehow Also the fuel filter and gas line are right next to the ps pump, maybe a leak from something there ? Also after shutting off the fuel pump your fuel pressure should not drop for a little while, then you will have a gradual decrease. My car holds pressure for 15-20 minutes before it starts to drop. A rapid decrease is either an external leak or a bad injector that is passing into the cylinder.
