When the identical situation arose on my '87, it turned out to be located
where the fuel feed line goes through the bulkhead (pass. side).  It
transfers through by way of a small (white) plastic fitting, and on the far
side the hose was too short & not well clamped.  Longer length of hose with
a loop took care of the leak & allows for engine movement.

Just a possibility.
