Default '98 V 70 fuel leak

I notice everytime the gas station attendant failed to tightened the gas cap properly, there will be a small amount of gas under the car the day after. I look under the car, It seems leak comes from the top left side of the gas tank, after I tightened the gas cap properly, the leaking dissapear.

There is a hose that runs from the top of the tank to the Filler neck that Cracks and leaks.
I would check that first.

But you will have to remove the Rear Panels in the rear of the car. Then you will see Metal covers held in by 10MM nuts remove and inspect the hoses.

Got a strong odor of gasoline coming from the engine bay after putting gas. And that is more noticeable after shutting of the engine.
I got cleaned off the tank, and did the same today. You need to inspect the hoses.
