Default HELP Please !!!!! Gas/Fuel Leak

So i bought a car test drove it and everything was fine. when i went to fill the tank at the gas station gas started to pour out from under the car. The fuel gauge still says full and now after not driving the car for a day , there are no visable leaks under the car also , the gauge still reads full , when i lift the back seat to look at the pump the one on the driver side (America) is wet but the other on is bone dry. PS when the car first started leaking it came from the driver side. What do you guys think is the problem and how to fix it please help.

What year model is the car?


There was a fuel tank recall in 2005 for leaking seals.

Take the car back and get a refund. This problem didn't 'just' occur.

Take it back.

One other point? If you plan to drive an old car you must DIY the repairs. Otherwise a used Jaguar will be a money pit!
