Default Fuel leak

I think I have a fuel leak in the rear of the car.. It appears to drop a few drops (enough to make a small puddle 2 - 3 inches) from somewhere above the right muffler... Has anyone had this problem, or have any idea what is the likely cause??

Lift up gas door, there are 4 torx screws that hold it in. Remove them, then the whole door assembly. Underneath it you should see all the lines and wires coming into the tank. My guess is somewhere where the steel line is coupled to the tank with hose is where you will find the leak.

I looked and I could not see the leak... It is however getting much worse. I am dropping the car at the dealer in the morning... Boy did I get lucky. The dealer I bought it from is paying for the repair... I am sure this will not be cheap. It looks like my fuel lines a rusted badly, is this a common problem?? The tank is also rusty, Not real bad, but there is rust in many places... The fuel seemed to be running down the fuel line and return line and was dripping fast enough to make a wet spot about 18 inches wide under the car... Sure glad this is getting fixed..

Fuel lines are rusty on my 86, but nowhere near to the point of leaking.

I am sure glad the dealer I bought the car from was willing to pay for this repair.... $975.00. the labor was $800.00..
