Already missing, unfortunately...this is a pretty rough "driver".

How do you know the fuel lines are new? The PO told you, or you verified for yourself?
When I picked up the car I dropped it off at a local "914 guy" for inspection/estimates and he replaced the rubber and steel fuel lines that go to the back. I also verified visually that the rubber lines were all good up to the tank fittings on the right side when I had the car on the lift replacing the fuel pump/filter assembly (replaced it with a two-fitting pump).

Also, recall the leak is coming from under the master cylinder on the left. All the lines I saw were on the right side, and it's dry over there at the hole where the rubber lines go up to the tank.

I have the feeling you're going to be pulling the tank out of this car...
Me too, and I'm trying to avoid it. Just looks like a PITA...I can remove the lines from the pump/filter assembly and leave them attached to the pump; is there anything else holding in the tank except that strap across the top? What are my replacement options?

But if someone has another idea before I go that route, I'm all ears.
