I had a gas leak from my tank, and it was a crack in the tank. I think my mechanic dropped it when he was changing pumps. I did not smell gas until I got out of the car. It is possible for a crack to develop. You are going to have to drop the tank to find out. Usually the garage uses a smoke generator, and pumps smoke into the tank. If smoke comes out, you have found the leak.
Unless you have the O-ring in crooked, or the nuts are not tight, there are not a lot of places to leak. The metal lines extend right to the edge of the tank, so it is not likely that the fuel lines are leaking on the tank.
I have never had a leak when jacking one side, and I have had the car up about 2 feet, and was almost uncomfortable with the way it sat.
