Description of the problem	Fuel is leaking from the welded seam on the passenger side of the fuel tank when the tank is full. I parked the car in the garage after filling the tank, went into the house, and the next morning found a small puddle of gas just forward and inboard of the right rear tire, and a very strong smell of gasoline . I could see a drip approximately every 10 seconds. My neighborhood mechanic examined the car and diagnosed the leak at the welded seam, not at the fuel filler tube connection at the tank, and recommended it be fixed at the dealer. It is at minooka subaru in minooka, pa. Right now.
