long story short, there was a small puddle of gas under the back of my car (about where the toe hook is, but further under the car) and i looked up at the tank and it had gas dripping from the top of the tank down to the point where it was dripping to the ground, i do not have time to look at this until the weekend, and i was wondering if any of you had any ideas of what i could be finding under there... thanks in advance....

Take the fuel pump cover off and check the fuel lines that come out of the tank. i had the same problem and all it was was the return line had started to crack and come off. Get some new line attach and your set.

The cover is located in the rear hatch area underneath the carpet. It's held on by 4 screws and has wiring coming out of it. If you do need a new line(the old one may just need to be tightened) then you can just get the length needed from any auto parts store. They usually sell it by the foot. Just tell the guy that you need x amount of feet of fuel line in x size(it's alot easier if you take in your old line).
