When I fill up my mercedes 1998 sl500, gas will leak on the left side of the car opposite from were I put it in.

Only happens when I fill the tank to full. Where can it be coming from?

Where can it be coming from?

Just a wild guess, but maybe a leak in the top of the 25-year-old gas tank. (Rusted if a metal tank, cracked if plastic.)


It could also be any deteriorated hoses or connectors on or near the top of the tank.

Possibly the EVAP system. Do you stop pumping when the nozzle clicks, or do you top it up to the brim?
