Nearly always leaking from the grommets on the top of the tank that seal the
side to side vent tube or the vent tube up to the filler.  About $2 each
from VW, you need 3.  Can also by the myriad of 5mm vent lines running up to
the overflow expansion tanks these can be replaced with 1/4" ameican style
fuel line and spring clamps.  Regular Vanagon maintainence should involve
replacement of all these.  It is not hard but can take a full day the first
time, and there are some tricks to getting to all of these in order to get
the tank down correctly.  I posted a pretty definitive explanation a few
months back in response to someone, you might search a few months ago under
my name or for things like gas tank filler grommet etc.  If you have no
luck, I can detail the stuff again.
