I have an 05' GT with just over 20K miles. Last weekend I backed out of the garage and noticed fuel smell and saw wet concrete. There was no fuel smell in the garage prior to starting the car. I looked under the car (with it idling) and fuel was not quite running but very fast dripping off of the bottom of the fuel tank cover. Needless to say I pulled back in the garage and shut the car off. The fuel continued to drip for a while with the engine off, then stopped.
My guess is that the fitting from the fuel line to the fuel tank sending unit may have dry rotted or a fitting has become loose. This is a garage kept, weekend driven, never in the rain car. No rust anywhere on the car and there are no signs of mice in my garage at all so I doubt it's rodent damage.
I'm assuming that the problem is a $2.00 part that's going to cost me a ton to have the car flat bedded down to my mechanic to fix. I've never dropped a fuel tank, but I'm assuming it's not that hard to do.
Any other thoughts or has anyone experienced the same thing?
Thanks for the help in advance.
