I had the same problem on my '91 GL; it was the "cross-vent" tube on top of the tank, the fittings are plastic and eventually crack with age, causing leaks and overflow when filling the tank. Several of the well-known vendors on this list sell a "repair kit" for this; it does require removing or at least partly lowering the tank. Allan
