Your car's check engine light came on with a code 440 (emissions system fault). The gas fill pipe underneath your fuel cap has rusted through and developed holes, causing raw gasoline to leak out. The pipe's design allows dirt and debris to collect around it, which has caused rust to develop from the outside inward. Replacing the corroded gas fill pipe and ensuring proper drainage around this area should resolve the issue.
