If it's leaking where the filler neck goes into the fuel tank, it's probably cracked right there. This is a known issue with the Rendezvous, and many of them, with a certain VIN number, were recalled and repaired at no charge to the owner. But there were MANY more with the same issue that Buick refused to include in the recall.
Apparently they finally adapted the recall to include ALL Rendezvous', but with the provision that the engine had to have less than 150,000 miles on it. I doubt if many, actually if there were ANY at all that were still under 150,000 miles by the time they made the change.
Pretty scummy move on Buick/GM's part, considering the price tag just on the fuel tank, no labor included, is between $900-$1,000. Then you've got about 3-4 hours worth of labor charges to drop the old tank and put the new one in. Sorry. I'm in the same boat.
