Thanks, I guess that could make the most sense. Tbh I don't always trust that the dealership properly diagnose the issues. How can I check if its this and by leaking do you mean the fuel pump that is attached to one of the level sender sensors is faulty and needs replace or fix ?

The electric fuel pump as it wears also gets weaker and makes it worse
