You will need to check the connections to the fuel lines and where the fuel pump enters the tank. It is possible that one of the fuel lines is leaking or there is a leak in the seal where the fuel pump is mounted in the tank. Not an easy job since you may have to drop the tank to access both the pump and the fuel line connections.
