Default Gas leak

My 98 Accord started leaking fuel. I noticed it after I had gotten gas and the next day there was a puddle underneath the car.. I jacked it up and noticed it was dripping off the front of the tank. I don't wanna drop the subframe to replace the tank so if any one has any tips or tricks please let me know it has 277k on it but runs just fine.

Remove the fuel pump access cover, its located in the trunk and have a look at the fuel line connectors and the tank to pump gasket. The vent valve cant be seen through the pump access but if its leaking maybe fuel has run down into the pump area.

vent valve is item 11, pump is item 1
the filler neck hose 17, could be leaking such that the fuel is running around the tank lip and dripping off the front.
