Default I Hate Leaks

This one's real cute. With around 150 miles on the engine I noticed that at 3500- 4000 rpm's I could hear a noticable "hissing/squealing" noise. The other day I looked at my lower manifold and noticed that it was a little discolored. I also noticed that my heads were discolored under where the headers are bolted in. So I ran the car, trying to finally enjoy the thing while breaking it in. So I noticed a scent of fuel and, can you believe it, my AN fitting (where the braided fuel line meets the fitting), was leaking. It actually formed a small black puddle in one of the valley's in the lower manifold. Oh well!! Looks like she'll be on the shelf over the holiday as no one around here sells AN fittings and Summit can't deliver until Friday. And I still haven't been able to locate the small leak that is dripping down to my bellhousing. I HATE LEAKS!!
