Fuel leak from top of fuel tank (maybe fuel pump)

I have a 96 900SET convertible with 67,000 miles. If I fill the tank up shortly before parking the car, fuel will leak from the top of the tank (I guess where the fuel pump is, I can't see the source of the leak). I jst bought the car 2,000 miles ago, and don't know if the fuel pump was ever replaced. It is hard to estimate how much fuel leaks out, maybe a half a gallon or so. I do not top the tank off once the gas pump stops automatically. Also, the check engine light comes on and gives the code PO442, a small leak exists in the evaporative emission control system. If I fill up the tank and drive 20-30 miles or so, the tank doesn't leak (once I stop) and the light doesn't come on. I guess the easiest fix is to not completely fill the tank, but does anyone have an idea what the problem is. Maybe the fuel pump is not sealed well?
