Usually, the tank rubber breather pipes have perished or the tank has a rust hole in the top.

It will be either the breather system ( pipes or grommets) or the filler neck seal or the actual filler neck pipe .
It could be the actual tank, it that’s rarer than you may think .... it is nearly always the pipe work rather than the tank.
Start by a visual inspection

Thank you very much, hopefully it's just a simple pipe fix or replacement
