SDL Fuel Line Leak!

Could be the feed hose or the return hose at the tank with fuel running down the steel pipes to the low point near the rear wheel; but, the most likely situation is the steel fuel pipe/s are rusted out, usually in the area where they pass through the rubber grommets which are held in place under steel clamps. A combination of corrosion and abrasion usually, water/salt/grime get trapped between the grommet and the steel pipe, after 20 years the coating wears through and then the steel.

Off hand I can't recall the exact size fuel hose you'll need, I'm pretty certain the steel pipe is 8 mm OD if you can’t find metric dimensioned line, 5/16" ID will probably work, you'll only need a foot or two! Good luck!
