I had the same problem on adding gas. It turned out to be a crimped end on the fuel hose which connects the two gas tanks. The C5 transfers feul from one tank to the other. You should have this checked out as this could be a problem with it dripping on hot exhaust pipes

Same thing happend to me.It was the fuel filter above the drivers side exhaust where it bolts together.You will have to go underneath the car.No leaks on the ground,just on the hot exhaust.Took awhile to find it.
