Try checking the fuel line near the fire wall. There are one or two short bits of rubber fuel line that could be leaking. The OBC is more of a challenge. The signal comes from the speedo. To check the two plugs one white and one blue you have to pull the instrument cluster best done on a warm day. There's a good chance the unit was pulled before and the connectors damaged. They need to fit tight. If your careful you can unsnap the cover of each plug and pinch the metal fingers together slightly then reassemble. Good luck.
