E-30 gas tank leak

Hello all!
	Would like some advice regarding a gas leak on my 1990 325i,
62000 miles, with Inspection II coming in a couple of months (but 
with the timing belt already changed at 52k).  Manual trans.  All
stock except RE71 tires.
	Symptoms: *occasional* gas leak from just in front of gas 
tank on passenger side of car, from just behind the rear jacking 
point.  Seen four times, always after a low-speed left-hand turn
followed by parking the car.  On two of these occasions, I was
going up a parking deck and did commit the cardinal crime of 
(almost) lugging the engine in 2nd.  Gas tank level seems to be
immaterial since it's occurred a couple of times with less than half
a tank on board.  
	Please help....I hope it's something less expensive than a
tank replacement.  All I see from under the car is the tank mounting
bolt. (?)  There are no fuel lines in that area.

	Also, any recommendations of stealers in the Dallas/Ft. Worth
area for Insp. II and general service?

	Please reply either by Email or to the list. 
	Thanks in advance!
