Default fuel leek when tank is full

Could this be because the fuel pump seal is broken, or could a fuel line be loose? I really don't want to have to change the whole tank (because i am ordering a fuel cell this weekend) I installed a new exhaust a few days ago. Im hoping that i just knocked a line loose, but i want your opinion.

Just a temporary fix to last me 2 weeks

if you only need it to last 2 weeks, just don't fill the tank completely?

I would just check the seal under the back seat and make sure its not cracked or broken, start your search there and work up to the front of the car.
