Default Fuel Leak... maybe

Hey guys,
I just got my MY03 WRX 3 days ago and filled her up today for the first time.

I used to drive a Subaru Liberty and when i filled that up I used to fill untill the bowser pump stops, then pump a little more. I could actually add more fuel untill i could see the fuel was filled right to the nozzel.

I tried this with the WRX and it took me a while to notice that fuel was coming out of the bottom of the car and making a huge puddle. i was too busy watching for the fuel to fill to the brim, which it didnt do.

From then i drove around a bit, roughly 50km, then got home to find fuel dripping from just forward of the rear axle on the passenger side. not to mention the overpowering fuel smell all around the car.

Has anyone else overfilled their WRX? If so, did this happen to you?
Where does the excess fuel go?
And finally, do you think i have a fuel leak somewhere?

Andy
