It's leaking when the car is standing still, and on a flat surface.  I cant pinpoint out the leak, but it looks like it's coming from the upper right corners (if you are looking from the rear, and picturing a schematic drawing) of the fuel tank. I cant determine where the leak is...How hard is it to replace the fuel tank? How dangerous is it too drive around in this current condition?
Pls help...suggestions? thanks!

You probably dont' wanna drive around with it just for the sake of chances that you'll ignite a spark or something and then you're pretty much done.

To remove it, first release the pressure in the gas lines. You can do this by removing the fuse for your fuel pump and then turning the key until you hear your crank turn a few times. Then lift your car up, remove all the shields and voila. Should be simple from there on. Try to do it with the tank as low on gas as possible, just for the convenience. Check pump pressure while at it.
