I've tryed searching for this problem but cant seem to locate any information on it. What's causing the gas cap to leak? The car was on empty yesterday so I put 6 gallons in and drove off...when I stopped I smelled gas so I looked around and it had just ran out of the fuel door and down the side of the car. Any idea why this happened or how to fix it.

Gas Cap Gasket?
Is your car Carbed or FI.
What Year.
Not all years have have the same venting system cause that's where your are headed next if the gas cap is OK!

 

i had a similar problem, got a new gas cap and was fixed. It was only like $4 at my auto parts store.
