Default Fuel Leak

I've had my AR for 4 weeks now and I keep finding strange little problems...
The newest one is a fuel leak which only occurs when I fill up the car. The smell in the garage and inside my car in very strong. It leaves a small gas puddle under the car as well.
Any thoughts?

Default Had this.

I think when they shipped my car, they tore some breather hose (don't ask me how.) Required a new gas tank, as it's all one sealed unit. Dealer did it under CPO.

Get it fixed. Its not safe. Good luck.
