I was at the gas station and filled it up all the way and when i left the smell didnt it got really strong so when i got home i looked through the car and i found a puddle of gas where the spare goes and so i clean it up and some more comes bubbling up from a pin size hole in the trunk right under the spare and then i look underneath and see it also coming out the top of the gas tank not by the hole in the trunk. any ideas??? could it just be a hole in the top of the tank or hose or what someone know something about this??

If that was me I would start to call lots of people because the fumes can ignite with little spark or a cig.

If it is a leak in just the one spot then I would just try to fix the hole but it sounds like multiple places so rather then messing with things I would just get a fuel cell.

before you do that i would run it a little bit more to see if you keep leaking gas sometimes you could have just filled the tank up too much and the pressure of the gas is making it leak.
