Default Hissing sound

Good day to you all. I wanted to get a take from anyone on what they think might be the problem I'm hearing from the front left of my 79 SC there is a hissing sound. it sounds like if there was a hose under pressure with a pin ***** in it. Like a pressurized air leak.


Not sure if this could be related to a fuel pump, an a/c line, something else.... anyone experienced something like this before?

Thanks!

Hi,

Assuming there isn't a snake onboard your car, this could be caused by a fuel tank vacuum (obstructed tank vent line), a leaking A/C hose, or a tire.

Time for you to do some detailed detective work.
