I have been driving my car for a good few weeks with the slightest smell of gasoline coming from under the car after I stop driving. Once it sits for a while and I return to my car, like after work, or after it sits for the night the smell is not there. I have just returned from vacation after a week and parked in my garage, which I normally do not do, and we got back and the garage reeked like gasoline and there was a 8 inch wide spot where it had been leaking, which I never saw any noticeable leaks before.
I am just wondering if this is a common spot for a leak and what the possible problem could be, and what kind of fix I am looking at. I know there should be some steel lines running under the rear passenger door, and also the gas tank is located there as well, but the leak seemed too far towards the outside of the car to be the gas tank. Could it be the filler neck?
I would like to get peoples opinions on what the leak could be and what kind of fix would be necessary. And also any possible ways to test for sure where the leak is coming from. Thanks
