        very easily, 5mm & 6mm socket or nut drivers, and a screwdriver to pry off the fule line. I fixed my split line by cutting ~1" off with scissors, fixes it for about a year, real fix is to replace about a foot of line, it can be done under the car without jacking it up, but it's sorta of a pain to get to the other end.

          Sweet car. But I agree with Nick, a leak at 39k doesn't sound right. How much did you pay for it?

            Sure, rubber gets old no matter if you drive it or not. Why wouldn't it leak just the same as other cars driven more?
            That's why you are supposed to change a timing belt @ 5 years regardless of miles.

              That's what i figured one you posted there was tubing there. A car that hasn't been driven much will have some dry rot, when my dad had his corvette he drove it so little that the tires had dry rot and belts and such would crack faster and such. The tires were replaced once they got the car traded in b/c of dry rot/hardness. Anyways, I'm hoping it's fixed today by them without hassle. Now I'm going back to sleep cause I feel like shit.

                Talked to my dad and they fixed the problem, all it was was an O ring.
