,8" connecting tube where it is leaking from to another piece of aluminum 14" tubing that goes underneath the manifold is $300.00 And $150 to install it. I think it is a factory defect that the manufacturing dealer is gouging almost punishing them for needing the part by charging 3xs what the piping/tubing really should cost.
