Description of the problem	7-3-2020: drove car in drive mode and sport mode throughout the afternoon, stopped to talk to someone and car sat on a flat surface, idling when suddenly there was gasoline leaking out of the rear right wheel well. Parked the car for the night, had no more leakage. 7-4-2020: drove to vw dealer/service about 20 minutes away in drive mode, did not have replication of the gasoline leak. 7-6-2020: vw called and said they couldn't replicate the problem. He said they drove it, had it idle, put it on a flat and an angled surface, looked at everything while it was on a lift.. Saw nothing. I was out of town so i picked the car up on 7-13-2020. 7-13-2020: picked up car and drove half a mile to gas station to fill up. Car immediately would not allow fuel to be added, popping the gas handle lever every half gallon. I called vw and he said to try another pump. I didn't have time to continue checking so i drove the car, in drive mode, and had no problem. 7-15-2020: finally had time to try another gas pump, had the same issue with car not allowing gas to be filled, popping gas handle lever again every half gallon. Decided to take it back to vw. Briefly put the car in sport mode and felt like the car was starved of fuel. Had my husband follow behind me to vw. Decided to put it into sports mode about a mile from vw and husband called me within seconds to tell me my vw was leaking fuel, varying from a steady drip to stream. Half a mile up the road i pulled into vw service and fuel was legit gushing out, creating a puddle the size of a small baby pool, were there not a drain for it to drain into in the service garage. Currently awaiting word about diagnosis.
