Default Gas leak

Today I filled my gas tank and drove home. I parked on my driveway which is on a hill. I parked facing downhill and went inside for a while. When I came back I had a puddle of gas sitting under my jeep. It only leaks when I'm facing Downhill. It doesn't leak when faced uphill or when parked flat. Any idea where the leak could be or how to fix it??

If I'm not mistaken the 97 has the pump assembly on the top if you filled it and parked it down hill that would be enough to leak if you have a cracked or old seal(thing) try sticking you hand up there and feeling if it's dry or cracked


Just my opinion
