Is it wet in that area? Does it smell like gas?It shouldn't be too hard to sort out."We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgement to shine." -
no, it not a serious leak, its the vapor thats leaking but i cant figure out were it leaks. the shop is charging me 280 dollars to find and fix it, but i mean if i can find it my self and fix it i save my ass some money...Originally posted by Turf1600 View PostComment

I had a gas leak when my pressure hose was to short after I had to forceably remove and cut a section out. The problem was that the shortened hose would not allow the pump and sending unit to seal all the way. I would have a gas oder when ever I filled up and I would see it leaking out from under the car. I replaced with a section of high pressure 3/8 fuel line and not have had an issue since.

Im not sure if E30s have this but I have the same problem on my honda Accord. There is a hose that is for overflow/vapours. my hose has a crack in it and you can smell fumes and if the tank is full to the max it will start to leak gas. on my Accord and a few other cars Ive seen the hose runs to the gas fill door.Comment
