C3 Fuel leak
I had my 71 up on my neighbors lift to change the oil and thank God discovered a fuel leak in a rubber line that. I think is the vent line from the tank over the RR wheel. It was leaking right on the RR muffler. Having the line replace after trying to fix it. Rubber was old and brittle. I had just filled the tank with nonethanol gas. Had to have it towed to the shop for repair
I have a question for C3 members: Can a non- working brake light bulb cause the turn switch to not work on the same side?

My 75 has fuel supply and return line on right side and vent line on left. A vent line shouldn't drip unless you have serious issues.
Is my vette stock?? HAHA

If the ground is bad it can in Addition to it being burned out. Usually if the filament was bad you would get a hyper flash on that side...but that might just be with the older flasher units
