On the T/T tank i think the overflow pipe runs through the tank and is connected to the pump unit/housing inside the tank- then another section attaches to the outside of the housing , this is the part that you can see on the outside -
You have a hole in the internal overflow hose, or it's pulled away from the inside connection, allowing fuel to come out when it reaches a certain height -

You'll have to take the pump housing off and check .
