uncommon... Could be the seal at the sender unit is fubar.
The gauge problem could be there.
Could also be the vent, return line, area, that's the leak. You can take the heat shield pan down, [on the pass side, over the rear axle area], and see if there's gas stains.
Time to drop the tank, and take a look.
Given it does it only when full, I'd lean toward the sender unit....

You might want to look at the tank for rust holes that can develop under the rubber strips for the tank straps. I had one that did that once.

Could be leaking where the neck is attached to the tank. Check that area too.

The filler neck on my GN started leaking at only 7500 miles or so. Cleaned up the area and put JB Weld around where it connects to the tank, no leak in 20,000 miles since.
