Let me first say that I know very little about cars.. But I am stationed overseas and I need help with my car and don't trust German mechanics.

I have a 2011 Mustang V6 4.0L.. I've only had it for 6 months. I was filling up today (I was near empty) and I noticed that fuel was leaking onto the ground under the same area where my gas cap is located. SOME of the fuel still made it into my tank. I haven't done any driving on any rough roads, or anything out of the ordinary (which is just driving a few miles to and from work every day). The fuel does not leak out while driving, idling, or parked, only while I was trying to put new fuel into it. Is this a common problem? Has anyone else had this issue, and how is it fixed? Is it dangerous to still drive my car right now?

Please help! Thanks.

I don't recall hearing about this issue from anyone on the forum but it sounds like it could be a simple clamp or hose issue. Here's a link to the shop manula. I believe you can dig down to an exploded view of the entire fuel system piping and hopefully that'll help you diagnose it: http://iihs.net/fsm/?dir=1

If it's only leaking during filling, then it sounds like the leak is above the tank so it's PROBABLY safe but I'd still look into it ASAP.
