Gas leak, possibly upper portion the tank

Hey guys,
Just bought my first 300 it's a 90 2+0 N/A stick and I have a fuel leak. I'm thinking its the tank it drips down both sides and I took the covers off the fuel pumps and there isn't a leak there. I have ruled out the possibility of it being lines because it is dripping from the left and right side of the tank, right behind the seats and I don't have a problem starting. Also, once it gets to about 3/4 of a tank it stops dripping. So my question is, does anyone know how long it would take to drop the tank and fix/replace it or do you guys have any other suggestions of what it might be? Thanks.

It's not too hard. Dropping the subframe is what takes so long, but that takes less then a coupe hours your first time. I would highly recommend the use of air tools.

Alright, is there anything I should look out for or a good place to start or should I just start disassembling, or is it pretty straight forward? I'm going to take the fuel pumps out and pump all the fuel out before I start and then get under the car and start there. I have it up on jack stands right now I just don't want to miss anything or get too far into it and mess something up that I could have easily avoided. Thanks.
