Wierd fuel problem, please help

[Michael Williams <daserde@ucla.edu>]

Ok, this is new.  The car got about 5 mpg on this tank of gas.  Every 
time i come to a stop i smell gas, this isnt new, but it is substantially 
worse this time.  There is NO smell of gas in the trunk, only at the rear 
right side quarter panel.  I felt underneath, and it apppears that gas is 
continually dripping from the overflow line...I would say this is ok, if 
it were just filled, but the gas guage reads less than 5 gallons left in 
the tank, and only 65 miles on the trip odometer.  This is disconcerting 
to say the least.

Does ANYONE have any idea what could be causing this wierd behavior?

TIA

later...
