There are 2 hose claps on your filler tube to the gas tank. Maybe the hose clamp that meets the gas tank got loose some how?

Mine had a leak in the same spot it was on top of the tank and in the rear it was hard to see. I found it by taking a mirror and sticking it up there and looking in the mirror and I saw where it was leaking from. I think it's from getting air in there and moisture on top of the tank because my car sat for 2 or 3 years and sprung a gas leak also.
