When I pump gas in car it leaks out. My mechanic can not find a hole in the tank nor a hole in any hose. It seems to begin almost immediately . It leaks down to less than 1/4 of the tank. Please advise me what do I need to do now.

@vlross,
Ceili has your perfect answer, if it is actually leaking. Now, leaking doesn't mean the gas is going away, and it doesn't mean the gauge is showing an abnormal decline. It means there is wet gasoline on the pavement, or anywhere else besides inside the tank, lines, etc.

If it is leaking, where is the fuel pooling? Below the tank, under the engine, somewhere between, or what?
