The fuel pump and level sensor are accessed thru a connection on top of the tank, and this connection is under the fuel level when it's half full - if the gasket there leaks it would be only when you have a fullish tank......

Easy to check, lift the front of the drivers side rear seat, and remove the cushion. Undo the access plate, (4 Phillips screws) and check for wet spots on top of the plastic fuel tank.
