Hey guys. I own a '89 240sx and I recently had noticed that when I have the car up and running, the gas would leak from the back, down from where the fuel pump is. I dunno if it's the pump itself or just the fuel lines.

pop your trunk, pull back the carpet on the passenger side, open the fuel pump access panel and take a look.

The the fuel pump gasket could be failing. Did you notice just recently after you topped off the car?

edit: also the sending and return lines could be worn.... they can get brittle with age.

or could be the hose that lets air escape at the filler.
