Default MAJOR DELEMA! 90 integra

Ok, so i parked my car on the street. as usual, living in the city... To my surprise, the fire department shows up... I run out cuz they are calling a tow truck! To my surpise, AGAIN, i found a major spot under my car, Smells like gas but looks and feels like oil... I noticed the other day when i filled my tank up, gas leaking perfusly from the tank... So i thought, ok, new tank? plug it? new gas line? but now its leaking oil so it seems.. Its near the real left tire, on that corner of the gas tank.... its a 1990 Acura Intega LS sedan... Has anyone had this problem? can someone tell me what it is?
PLEASE!
I luv my car

Thanks!
I can give my phone number out to anyone who knows about this...

If it's near the rear left tire, then I can almost guarantee that it is not oil... it could be gas mixing with dirt from under your car before falling to the ground or could be something that was already on the ground mixing with your gas... but it definitely sounds like a leaking gas tank...

that sounds kinda wierd. yea, im with teevee its not going to be oil, that sounds far fetched...

put a box or something under that car at night so you can track exactly where the "substance" is coming from.

gas most likely mixing with road build-up on the frame.

Probably gas dissolving the undercoating on the tank (oil based).
