Fuel tank leak

Fuel tank leak
New owner of a 2005 4-door, 118K miles. Fuel leak with obvious dripping from the area around the shrouding below fuel tank. Far as I can tell, this is after topping the tank. No obvious leakage when tank was 1/2 full. Anyone have experience with this? Finding it hard to believe the tank is leaking, but guess anything is possible. It’s been a northeast car where road salt is a way of life.

Corrosion in the seam around the middle of the tank? Not sure if anyone makes some kind of sealant, but it seems to me the real fix is a new tank.
But first, I'd rule out any of the hoses & connections around the top of the tank. Like maybe where the fill-pipe attaches to the tank?
