Fuel tank leak
New owner of a 2005 4-door, 118K miles. Fuel leak with obvious dripping from the area around the shrouding below fuel tank. Far as I can tell, this is after topping the tank. No obvious leakage when tank was 1/2 full. Anyone have experience with this? Finding it hard to believe the tank is leaking, but guess anything is possible. It’s been a northeast car where road salt is a way of life.

Welcome. Years ago had a friend with the same leak gas only when full problem.
He just didn't fill tank beyond the leak point. |
Corrosion in the seam around the middle of the tank? Not sure if anyone makes some kind of sealant, but it seems to me the real fix is a new tank.
But first, I'd rule out any of the hoses & connections around the top of the tank. Like maybe where the fill-pipe attaches to the tank? |
