My 2003 started the same thing yesterday. I tightened the clamp before I went to work this morning and it seems to be OK now. The clamp did seem to be loose.
Gas leak at hose attachment
The last couple days have been very cold (single digits) and a strong gas smell fills the cabin of my 2002 Outback wagon.
When I popped the hood, I found a gas leak from one of the hose sections.
I've included two pictures. One from far back to show the location of the leak highlighted in red. The close-up shows the portion where the leak takes place. It drips right where that little clamp with the phillips screw attaches.

I'm not mechanically inclined, but this looks to me like a pretty quick and simple repair. Looks like a 10 minute job with $5 worth of parts. Is it?
I'm trying to decide whether to take it in or not. I'm currently unemployed and just spent a lot of money on brakes and tires.
What does everyone think?
Thanks!
