I'm not smart enough to give you a definitive answer, but generally, the fuel leaks out of the overflow tube from the charcoal canister behind the passenger rear wheel. Maybe your tube is tucked up in a weird way and not draining back there for some reason? Or it's unrelated and leaking from somewhere else 🤷‍♂️
Thanks, I'll keep that possibility in mind. Normally I'd peek at it myself but it's parked 60 miles from all my tools and urgent To-Dos are just piling up.

Calling dealers this week to see who is most amenable to taking care of it 🤞

Went to the dealer this morning to take care of this. Got the standard “it will take about two hours” to complete but they finished the job in a little over an hour. A faint odor of gas is definitely noticeable in the interior so I’ve got the windows open to air it out.

I had the dealer do the "repair" and now I'm getting "Check Tank Door" errors intermittently, and I see an Evap Emissions small leak error in obdeleven that keeps coming back. The tank door is shut and seems fine. I should probably not have done it at all since it seemed fine. I have an appointment to go back on Monday, but I wonder if I'd be better off just looking at it myself.

I had the suction jet pump replaced this past weekend. It took them 2 hours to complete the work. There was no fuel order in the interior. I filled up with gas right after leaving the dealership. I was able to fill the tank up completely. I also think the suction jet pump fixed my misfire issue at idle. I drove to work today and the car idles a lot smoother and the misfires are no longer counting in OBD11 when the evap purge is running.
