nasty gas leak mystery 140-160 1974

Well, my initial resentment that a Volvo finally let me down has tapered off; I took a look at the fuel leak.

Judging by the amount of gas I lost, I expected to find a big, gaping hole. Instead: no hole, no evidence of leakage, all unions tight, and so on. The car had not been started since; so I ran it a while and looked & sniffed for leaks.

None.

So, I'm at a loss. I know the '74s have has some tank issues but it seems to be isolated to the wagons. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

-the background: '74 142 poured fuel from somewhere at the tank on the driver's side immediately after filling up.-

Thanks, -Sean
