Theres a rubber hose that connects from the filler neck to the gas tank. that could be loose or ripped possibly. Mine has that, not too sure about the coupe, might be the same.

so it turns out that the leak is indeed from the drop...everytime my car rubbed over a bad bump or somethin it was tearin thru the wheelwell and got thru it and eventually to the rubber clamp or whatever that the gas line feeds thru...i just jacked the car and saw it right away..heres a couple pics and videos....anyone know how much that one part would cost and should i do it myself or stealer?
