Fuel Leak At Tank

Note: This is not my car, but it is for sale and I am interested. This explains any lack of information.
The car is a 1975 99 LE and the description contains this "The leak is near the fuel tank by the filler line or gas tank. I'm not exactly sure from where, but gas leaks when the tank is filled past a certain level." When questioned further, the seller offered "the gas leak seems to be causing a fuel delivery problem. It starts up and idles nicely. But when you give it gas, it seems to starve. When running, I shot a hit of hotstart into the intake. And with that, it really come to life and sounded great."
I have limited experience with these cars, so I was wondering if this sounds like a leak in the line, tank, pump failure, or something else? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bret Wamhoff
