I have something similar on the 16V. There is a tiny amount of leakage at 
the bottom of the filler neck, which I priced, and would like to not have to 
buy new ($280 CDN)... Anyways, what are you looking for on that vent?  Just 
the usual rust, cracked plastic type thing? The smell of gas inside the car 
is worse when the tank is full.
And how big of a pain is the filler neck replacement gonna be (aside from 
the whole "empty the fuel tank" issue) I think that's where I'm likley 
headed.
And another thing, there used to be a hissing/ pressure release when I took 
the gas cap off, not anymore. I'm thinking this is related...
Any input is appreciated. I have to get this fixed, obviously.
