it's most likely the tank leaking, they tend to fail at the seam where the upper and lower half meet. I was able to get a rust free tank from the southern states for $140 cdn. not sure where you are

It's possible, are there any gas tank specialty repair shops there?
most likely you'll have to get a new tank,unless you can find a good one in a junkyard
