I don't think so. It sounds like the charcoal canister being bad is a symptom, not the problem.

Well it's not supposed to "leak" at all. No gas is supposed to be in there. Bad 2 way valve I think? Did you over fill your tank?

I deleted my charcoal canister. I know if your tank over flows it will come out of there.
