My sedan's fuel pump is accessible through a hatch at the very very back of the trunk, so close to the back seat that you can't use a normal screwdriver to get at it without pulling something in your back in the process. I know from experience, heh. That was the first place I checked but it was bone dry around the filter.
Also, I had a leak earlier from the fuel lines above the gas tank. I bypassed the metal delivery hose with a rubber fuel line, drawing it through the space with a hanger so I wouldn't have to drop the tank to do it. It started leaking back there again recently, though, and my rear brake lines were too, so I just had all three of the short fuel line lengths on the top of the tank replaced along with the rear fuel lines, all at once.
If I'd known this would happen I might have just bought a new tank then and there.
I've also had the fuel filler neck leak and get replaced. It leaked because the plastic guard that Subaru had put in place to protect the neck from gravel and whatnot, trapped dirt and water and rusted out the pipe instead. It's funny, many of the points where there are/were rust holes on this car, are where Subaru had plastic against, or next to, metal. Good going, Subaru.
It could be the fuel filler neck again, it's hard to see where it's leaking because it seems to be from near the top. The tank gets wet, I didn't see fuel on the filler neck but then again I wasn't looking. It'll be something to watch for, thanks for the tip/reminder, evo-move.
