Can you see exactly where the leak is coming from?

Could be a dry rotted gasket. That's what was wrong on my ACR when I bought it.

Could also be a busted high pressure line, my bro's g/f had that happen on her shadow right next to the muffler. It was not just gas spewing out, either, it was a giant cloud of vapor, LOL!
