I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I USUALLY BUY GAS BY THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT DID A COMPLETE COMPLETE FILL UP FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING AWAY THEN PARKING AT HOME, I NOTICED A HEAVY GASOLINE SMELL AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THERE WAS A CONSTANT DRIP (EVERY 15 SEC OR SO) COMING FROM UNDERNEATH, NEAR THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. I NOW HAVE A PUDDLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WHAT IF SOMEONE FLICKS A CIGARETTE AND IT CATCHES FIRE WHILE PARKED?! MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AFTER A COMPLETE FULL UP, AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN.
