On my 06 there are two breather hoses attached to the bottom of the tank on the right side. One of those came off (not sure how) while I was in Colorado and it leaked fuel. Not sure how long it was off but once I got it back on the problem has not returned.
I also had the gas cap hiss when I first bought it but the dealer fixed that when I took it in for its 600 mile service.
Speed Safe,
Don
