300SD Fuel Overflow Line

Hello all,

My 300sd is leaking from what I believe to be an overflow line coming off of the gas tank. The strange thing is that my fuel level is down to about 1/2 tank so I don't understand why it is still leaking from here. Can there be some lag time between diesel fuel coming out of this line and it actually overflowing?

Edit:
Got some more details. I climbed under the car and noticed that this "overflow" line is located slightly behind the fuel tank on the passenger side of the car about 1ft behind the rear wheel. Why would this be leaking fuel when the tank is only 1/2 full? I checked the line that supplies the car with fuel, I had replaced this 2 years ago, it is still holding strong.

Thanks for the help!
