the grommet where the filler neck goes into the tank ripped and thats where the leak is. The grommet cost me $20 from dealer.

those grommets suck, I pulled into the gas station one day and pulled out looking like a nascar after a pitstop

not hard at all get as much gas out of your tank as possible first, then remove your tank from car and put a little grease on both sides of new gasket first this will make sure you don't rip the new one when putting everything back together.
