Default GAS LEAK HELP!!

ok well my friend was driving behind me and he noticed when i make a left turn gas spills out of the tank. and in my driveway there is a lil puddle under where the filler neck goes into the tank. could it be that rubber gromment the seals the filler neck and the tank. its had to tell exactly where its coming from becasue a good part of the tank is convered in gas. any help would be great thanks

That's probably it or it could be the "O" ring for the pump install.

might as well drop the tank and have a look. I wouldn't trust that driving around...imagine if it gets on your exhaust...probably coming from where the filler and breather tube enter the tank. fuel filter is also located up under there in front of the tank...could be leaking there as well.

yea i would just drop the tank and replace every seal under there. i mean while ur under there might as well. saves u a trip next time some other seal starts to leak. but at the same time "if it aight broke dont fix it" ur choice i guess
