I just recently got an 02 Kia Rio and yesterday my mom filled my tank, we went in to pay and when we came out 10 minutes later there was a big puddle of gas under my car under the rear passenger side. What could the gas be leaking from, what do i need to do to get it fixed and how much should it cost?

If it leaks when full, it could be a hole in the top of the tank or the sending unit could be leaking. You need to remove the tank to get a good look at it.
