Oops! Turned out there were a few leaks. The coolant leak visible in this picture turned out to be trivial -- I just hadn't tightened a hose clamp enough. But there was also a fuel leak that could have caused a fire.

The cause turned out to be this bolt that holds on the brass fuel-line fitting in the middle of the picture. (This is called a 'banjo fitting' because of its shape, and the bolt that runs through its middle to secure it is called a 'banjo bolt.')

I found that I hadn't tightened the banjo bolt enough -- it has to be turned down pretty firmly to avoid leaks. Once it was secured, the fuel stayed inside where it belonged.
