Fuel leaking out filler cap

Hey all
Anyone had fuel almost pour out the filler cap before? I topped the tank off last night and have driven about 5km since, and we just smelt fuel out the back and went out the front to see about 500ml of fuel on the ground and more still dripping out the cap... i then opened the filler cap and started the engine to see if it'd get sucked down but it actually got worse! so i shut it off and hosed down the car n tyre to get fuel off, and hosed the tank incase it was hot and causing the leak.
But yeh - any thoughts? seems to have stopped now i've hosed the tank down though.
