well it may very well be an easy fix, you just have to determine if its coming from the fuel line or around the fuel filter . if its in the line, go to autozone and see what kind of products they have to repair it. I've seen people take a piece of a garden hose and cut out the area that is leaking and put each end into the hose and clamp it on both sides with a worm clamp, just as a quick fix, but the parts stores have the correct tubing to do this
