I filled my son's 95 850T w.134K at the gas station yesterday and then parked it on our driveway which has is sloped so the rear of the car is on the downhill grade. It was a warm day...maybe 73 degrees. I smelled gas and saw it very slowly dripping from between the filler cap and the tank. When I have the car parked on level ground nothing. When the tank is 2-3 gallons shy of full...nothing. What is going on here? Is it possible that the tank leaks at the seam or from one of the venting tubes?
