Two possibilities:

1) Filler neck overflow hose rusted out, or
2) Low-pressure return line from the engine (adjacent to the tank) is
rusted out.

The low pressure line is most likely right now, as it would leak when the
engine is running, but only until dry when engine is not running.

Either way, you need to remove the plastic splash shields before you can
see things clearly.
