Hmm not sure exactly what it could be, possibly the float.

To get to the float, take the back seat out, and underneath there, you will see a round plastic white thing with wires going to it, that is the float - it just screws off.

P.S. Don't have any smokes while you are busy with it. :roll:

Yo dude, when u take the backseat out dont put it back, less weight thus the .Com csl will be born....

oh and just by the way i hope u didnt stick anything to block the outlet pipe underneath the car, air escapes from there,
