its a 2002 model 1.8 hatchback really need to get this sorted asap as just had a new born child and need the transport cheers

The mk 2 zs did suffer fuel tanks that rusted away. Ive seen very few on a mk1.

Does this only happen when you fill it full with fuel?

Did it spurt out into the filler neck opening and its just the surplus fuel draining away?

no its a mark 1 model fuel tank is dry its where metal pipe goes onto rubber pipe then tank where it is dripping there is 3/4 of a tank of fuel in it could it just be a worn rubber pipe or somethin else

It's probably the rubber pipe or a failed jubilee clip.

You can buy the rubber part on rimmers (EDIT oh is see out of stock), just don't use there MGR clips get a decent jubilee clip, in fact I have a spare hose off my old tank if you want it??

Or brand spanking new
