Arghh!!! 30k miles is only half the 60k(?) mile service interval for the fuel filter.

Is just your driver side fuel sender leaking? Or, also the passenger side pumps?

At least this should be a quick fix though.

Leistung Autohaus is the only place I go to also

It's the place where all my installs and service have been completed recently.
