Raptor Failure or Not ???

hi guys
Advise (help) needed.
Bit of history - Rappy running fine, changed oil about a month ago (needed doing and embarrassingly quite low!!) raptor running fine.
Home from commute thurs and coolant appeared to be leaking no obvious drip, but coolant sprayed on left engine casing, bit of Radex engine left running - no leak. After turning the engine off I noticed noise coming from the fuel tank like pressure building, I undid cap and it stopped locked it again and it started but appeared to be quietening down so left it.
Came to it this morning and there was what seemed to be an oily residue around the bottom as you look at the top of the petrol cap. Wiped it away and took it out for a test run to make sure no coolant was leaking. Rappy ran fine.
Stopped at petrol station filled up, when I came back it looks like oil residue coming out the overflow of the petrol tank? Wiped a bit so I knew if it was leaking for the 2mile home.
Got home, nothing further has come out and there is no pressure noise from tank.
I have no idea where to start and hoping that something catastrophic is not about to happen.
Any ideas or just an explanation of what has caused this will as always be gratefully received.
