Ok So my gas tank leaks on the drivers side of my mustang, about where that flap folds down. Is there any natural way to solve this? Is this common at all? or do i just need to get a new tank? it just seems odd to me, there are no seals, or fuel lines or anything on that side to leak, i honestly just think the tank has some sort of hole in it, but i see nothing. but the second i park gas starts dripping from it.

Well thats what I'm saying, I would usually suspect that it were a hose or seal of some sort, but there are no hoses on the drivers side.

The gauge sending unit is on the driver side. Possible bad o ring for the lock ring.
