FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS IS LEAKING (FAIRLY STEADY FLOW) NEAR REAR DRIVER-SIDE TIRE WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING, IN PARK OR DRIVE, STOPS LEAKING ONCE CAR IS OFF. THIS APPEARS LIKE IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY #12191B, BUT ACCORDING TO GM MY VIN IS NOT IN SYSTEM AS BEING COVERED. GM WILL NOT COVER UNLESS I TAKE CARE IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I WONT TAKE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS SINCE IT COULD CATCH FIRE UNTIL I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE COVERED. VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 100K MILES.
