A leak like this is often the overflow tube that runs alongside the filler
neck. A clamp might be loose or missing, or the tube may be cracked where
it comes out of the tank.

To investigate thoroughly, you'd need to have the car up on a hoist, and
have a strong light. If this is a collision repaired car, ANYthing could be
damaged. Anything from broken tank seam to a split hose to a broken pipe to
missing clamps.
