I'm not sure which side you are asking about.

With an inspection camera or a dental mirror you could check for the siphon jet failure from the right side. Actually even without, as long as the tank has enough gas.

If your right side reads over 2-3L, then the two sides are flooded over the hump in the middle.

If you have the right side open enough to see inside and turn the key to on (not start no need), if the siphon jet is leaking it will cause all kinds of chaos to the surface of the fuel.

If the siphon seals are solid, you should only see disturbance coming from under the surface on the right side.

It's probably safer to check from the right side, as you can tell from my crazy video where my iPhone got sprayed by gas, you'd avoid that completely by investigating from the right tank opening.
