Passat CC V6 Fuel leak

[leep35]

Just picked up a 2009 V6 CC with 70000kms and filled it with 98 RON.

Within 5 mins of leaving the servo , I could smell petrol inside the cabin with windows closed , vented the cabin by opening up all windows no better.

Ended up parking the car in the garage , 30 mins later garage stunk of petrol
Found a large puddle underneath the fuel tank , fule seems to be leaking from the top area of the fuel tank on the rear passenger side.

Can't see anything clearly .

What should I be looking for ?

Is this thing safe to drive or shall I get it towed back to the dealer .

Only had the car for 4 hours

Any advice would be great

Call roadside assist...

Finally the car dealer workshop looked at the problem.

Found the sealing gasket ( I assume its a o ring type ) around the fuel pump was deteriorated.
Car is only 3 years old .
Access to this area is via removing the rear passenger seat.
Gasket was replaced and hopefully no more leaks :confused:

Or just maybe the fuel pump had already been replaced pre-purchase and they did not install properly...

Glad it's ok now though!
