97 RL Fuel Leak

97 RL Fuel Leak
Hi All,
I seem to have fuel leak on my 97 RL.
When I come to a stop...I see a slight drip under the the car, right about where the passenger seat is (looking down 'from the top view' --- just on the right side of the Y of the exhaust system).
For 'the time being' I have unscrewed the gas cap (seems to help).
Question: this leak is about 1/2 way from the gas tank to the engine...do I:
a) have a bad fuel line;
b) is there some sort of joint at that location;
c) is it just the low point in the line (maybe leaking at the tank and finding the low point)
My gas mileage is about 14 mpg...me thinks this is the reason.
Any thought on how to diagnose? I craweled under the car but could not see the fuel line (too many brackets, exhaust pipes, etc)
Thanks in advance,
Dave
