Check the fuel lines at the gas tank and also check the filler neck tube where you put the gas in to see if it has a hole in it or is leaking where it is attachd to the fuel tank. My wife an I got both a 1996 Buick LeSabre and a 1996 Buick Park Avenue from her father which we use for our winter cars. This December both cars started to leak fuel. The leak was in front of the rear passenger tire. Further inspection revealed that the fuel line coming from the sending unit had a small pin hole where the fuel line reached its apex as it is routed up toward the floor pan. The fuel line is bookended by a brake line one each side. Our local Buick dealer told us that because of the corrosion of the lines and the rubber mounts all lines would need to be replaced for about $1000. We got a second opinion form a garage and they fixed each car for $150 using a ridgid plastic line and wire ties. If this is your experience don't let this go long. The fuel is being sprayed out of the line at high pressure and being deposited on the rear passenger tire which will break the tire down an can make control difficult when riding through standing water.
