Hi, I have a fuel leak in my Saturn. The leak is on the drivers side, around the back door area. I can't tell where exactly the leak is coming from because it is coming from the top/side of the tank somewhere. I have very limited funds to fix this vehicle, it has been leaking fuel for about 6 weeks. The first three weeks it was being driven daily (amount of fuel leaking was minimal and did not get worse), then the car sat for about a week and a half without being driven. When I drove the car after it had been sitting, the fuel leak seemed to have gotten worse, it was spewing out every time I pushed on the gas pedal but did not leak too bad still if it was just idling. Now, if I even turn the car on, within 15 seconds, there is gas spewing out of it. Without it being looked at, I have been told that it is the fuel filler neck. Also, someone else told me that it was a fuel line. PLEASE help, any information is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a gas line if you can't see where it's coming from then you will have to drop the tank down and start it to see where the fuel is coming from.
