Then recently I developed a small fuel leak that follows fillups and gas. And I have an inspection of this scheduled for this weekend.

It's fairly easy. Unbolt the rear driver's side seat cushion, lift it. There you'll see the "door" to the fuel pump assembly. Get gloves because the sticky gasket they use will stick everywhere. There is a big lock ring that you will need to probably hammer out carefully. Once that lock ring is out, you will have access to the tank black rubber gasket. Replace it and now be careful to sit it properly in the mouth of the tank. Carefully replace lock ring, hammer it is carefully, replace gas tank "door", replace seat cushion, bolt in and you're done.
