Default petrol tank leaking

not quite sure if the tank itself is leaking or the hose that runs to the fuel pump (ERST S2)

is making small puddles over time and smells so got under and wiped it all dry and without the engine running it creates "moisture" but not dripping really.
is the outlet a known place for them to go, or could it be a leaky hose?

if it is gone, how hard are they to change without getting it on a ramp? Can get it on blocks maybe a foot or so or stands will that give enough clearance?

Cheers

reverse it on ramps or on axle stands mate, you'll have enough clearance.
