leak under the gas filler cap???

Hi All,

I've noticed a leak right under the gas filler cap behind the right rear wheel... any ideas?

I have yet to touch and smell it...

thanks,

Maybe the gas filler cap gasket is worn?

It's less than $1...

Good luck

Inside the fuel door, in the body of the car there is a small hole to drain away excess (spilled) fuel, it attaches to a hose, runs through the trunk and onto the ground in this area. Maybe it was overfilled or when refuelling some ran into this hole and tube assembly. If you open the fuel door (leave the gas cap on!) and dump a container of water into this area you'll see what I mean.
