rav4 leaking fuel

[kaceb]

My wife returned home the other day after filling her 2001 rav4 up with petrol.

She parked on our drive which has a slight gradient.

the next morning when she went to her car there was a strong smell of petrol, it had leaked from somewhere around where the filler cap is

And i mean leaked a fair amount

I am going to have a closer look tomorrow and was wondering is there anything that it is likely to be? ie a common fault?

have searched online but have not found anything as yet,

any help greatly appreciated

i know the rav4 01 fuel gauge goes down when parked on a gradient and will readjust itself after driving a bit but never heard of fuel leakage b4

maybe ur wife didnt tighten the lid enough? cause ur suppose 2 hear a click noise when it u shut the lid
