where specifically do you see the fuel coming from?

If you try to overfill your gas tank, it can overflow into the evaporative emissions system if the check valve is malfunctioning. Normally only gas vapors are directed from the tank to the charcoal canister, but if the little valve sticks open, liquid gas can go through and saturate the canister charcoal, ruining it. Try to find it in the engine compartment...on the driver's side usually a black plastic cylinder with one tube coming from the gas tank and another going to the throttle body. There'll usually be a vent on top...if gas is coming out of there you're SOL. Had this happen on my truck....what a mess, but didn't drain the whole tank like you describe, just a gallon or two until the level went below the tank siphon tube.
Anything else would have to be related to the fuel lines, fuel filter, etc, that you had replaced. Loose fuel filter line? Fuel line kink or tight bend? Cross-threaded connnection? You'll have to get your head under the hood and look sniff around. Follow the drip path upwards from the ground to see the path the fuel takes from the leak site. Good luck!
