That's exactly what I was looking at.
Years ago I had a really nice '69 Nova with the deluxe trim and the wrong year rally wheels.
One day I noticed fuel dripping out of a bad mechanical fuel pump through a weep hole in the pump and of course replaced it.
That tank is located way in the back under the trunk and under the frame and who knows if any fuel flowed into the crankcase before I caught it, didn't know enough to check the dipstick level.
Now picture a 20 gallon gas tank essentially turned sideways behind you up in the cab, well above the frame and a leaking fuel pump with open access to your engine crankcase and your garage floor.
