Leak on my tank
I have a leak somewhere on my tank, leaves a small pool of gas when I park on drivers side, I removed the tank but I can't see where is the leak, any ideas how to check the tank for leaks?

Is it leaking by the drivers side rear tire? If so it is your gas line .. They corrode in the frame rail.. Common place

You probably right I just used my compressor to fill the tank with air and used my water hose around to see bubbles and nothing.

The fuel line leak is likely to be the next recall on these cars.
