Default FUel leak after tank drop to replace brake line

need to know if anyone could help with locking down possible causes of fuel leak. Dropped tank about 4 inches to facilitate brake line replacement. Put truck back together and started up and let warm up to check trans fluid ... no leak at this time ... checked fluid and went inside house for a few minutes..when I came back out noticed small spot on driveway under tank and upon further inspection relized it was fuel ...not spray just a semi steady drip...

Truck is a 2001 1500 with 5.9L.
Any one got any ideas what it might be?

Check the connection where the line hits the fuel pump module. I think it's plastic....

there is a piece that is a harder plastic type right where it comes off top of tank and goes over to the frame, it might of got cracked. check it out. you can splice in some rubber fuel hose.
