Broken fuel overflow hose, right behind the fuel filler neck. This will also leak 
if you top up the tank completely. It MUST be fixed because driving in the 
rain will fill the tank up with water and dirt, and cause lots of damage to the 
fuel system. The OE part is NLA, so you'll have to improvise.
