Before I tear the basement wall appart, sure would appreciate some plumbing and subflooring insite for I've no building experience. While remodeling my basement I discover a plumbing leak in a basement bedroom. The leak at first appeared to be near the clean out but after some investigation the leak is coming from way above the cleanout. The concrete wall is 66 feet long and it is about 3 feet from the corner of the side wall. Above the leak on the main floor the kitchen sink/ garbge disposal /dishwasher is there. I've ran the washer machine and while in the drain cycle it uses different plumbing about 12 feet away on the side wall of the house. That then leaves the kitchen sink/ garbge disposal /dishwasher for they are right above the plumbing leak. Now this last summer I put in new engineered wood floor on the main part of the house above the basement. I cut the nonollieum up to the kitchen cabnette and left nonollieum under the dishwasher. The refriderater does have water and ice. I therefore did not disturb anything 2 feet from the wall. I first ran water into the sink and after some time no leak found. Then I ran the dishwasher and during the drain cycle that is when the leak was found. Then when I add the sink water with the dishwasher the leak is worst. I've added 2 pictures. Now the house is about 24 years old and it was my custom built home. The basement stood unfinished and unstudded for about 3 years and the leak was not there when the basment was finished 3 years later. Could it be as simple as maybe pouring something down the drain so the chemical can find it way into the leak and fuse it together. OR Is the only thing to do is to just open the wall up and then go from there? Thanks for your advise.

So I've read some of the repair methods/suggestions...if I understand correctly, these parts are made of ABS?? If that's correct, can I use ABS pipe material (used in plumbing) as "filler"?

I was going thru some old hard drives tonight. I knew that I had not removed my carbs when I did mine in 2007. Here's the trick, you have to remove one of the wire guides to get the back valve cover off and part of the plumbing to get the front one off. As you can see in the pics the carbs are still mounted on the bike. So for those of you who don't want to remove the carbs take a look at the photos. -
Can anybody tell me how to identify a California emission model Venture from a non-emission one? I imagine it has some extra evaporative canisters and plumbing on it. Are the emission goodies visible without pulling plastic? Any help would be appreciated.
