Default Gas tank leaks

My neighbor is hot! And she just bought a 2000 convertible, V-6. She took it to the gas station to fill it up, and after several gallons, she noticed gas pouring on the pavement. She stopped pumping gas, thank goodness....she is blonde, though. She drove it home, and beckoned me. By that time, gas was still dripping out of the area where the tank and neck meet. Looks like a rubber gasket should be there? Anyone had this problem? What does it take to fix it. I really want to be hero in her eyes. Thanks. I am working on getting some pics of her in her new stang.

Thanks. Is it hard to put in? Will I have to drop the tank?
