Yes.... just been dealing with it myself. The drip (and line its coming from is about 10 inches rear of the Boot on the axles so it doesn't drip at a typical place that would be the cause. And you can clearly see it is coming OUT of that tube.
So I changed the fuel cap and it was mucho better but not completely gone. Now it was down to about 12 drips after stop and so it still is coming from around that cap. I then cleaned the lip real good and inspected it and reseated the cap but... I am now below 1/2 tank. I don't think it would slosh enough at that level. So I will have to wait for fill up to see if I got it. But the fact it got a good bit (very noticable) better means I am on the right track.
The after market cap is an generic Oil cap from Advance Auto Parts. I have a real cap on the way. But I know its in that area. And I now know it will do it most at about 3/4 tank as it appears the slosh can build up momentum enough to force out the cap at that level.
The tube looks good and I went into the trunk to verify the overflow tube was well attached to the nipple and the trunk drain was clear.
If it is wet in the fuel cap area and a drip showing in that line then thats got to be it. The way to keep up with it is wipe all that dry and then look again. It will be wet again. If you lucky a new fuel cap will fix it first time. In my case, it is still not quite tight enough. It is tighter than the cap I got off of it by far. And the leak is far less than it was.
