| 1998 oldsmobile aurora fuel rail system leaking gas out of the plastic lines on top of motor and can catch fire very easily if not cought in time. it has been recalled on the 96 & on the forums there have been alot of 97 & 98s that have been having the same problem. i have had mine changed and it cost close to $600 to have it fixed. please take a real close look into this problem due to alot of people that have these cars are older or like me have 2 very small children straped into car seats. thanks | |||
