IIRC, there's a flexible line that is a press fit onto the overflow tube that originates inside the fill flap. If that tube has become detached any overflow will dump into the recess behind the right wheelwell. In any event all that's required is to pull the trunk lining from that side to see

I'm not sure what radio you have, but on my 84 300SD I have a Becker Brand Prix Electronc. I had the same problem and while visiting Aurora Auto Wrecking in Seattle (near where I live) they showed me that the faceplate was replaceable without having to replace the entire radio/tape player.
