I never payed attention to that before but i think what they mean is the plastic frunk liner.

you can bleed it like that also

I had the same problem: no puddles, no drips, eventually water would be gone. Turned out to be a bad hose. Pressure would build and would steam out very easily. Partly due to never adding coolant, just water. I never saw it and eventually all would be gone in a matter of days. If you replace those small hoses, replace crap stock clamps and put antifreeze in it not just water I think you will find the problem to be gone.

The fuel tank cover is the series of plastic covers under the car that if you drain the coolant following the owners manual's instructions, you would remove to get to the coolant line drains underneath the car. You probably haven't removed them since your working to fix an overheating problem.
