Went out to clean it up and noticed the other tank
also has a small leak - same place. Bizarre that the tanks have been tight
for 1 1/2 years and both began leaking at the same time. I may just bite the
bullet and pull both tanks and do it right the first time.

Ditto to what Tracy said. My cork gasket swelled and
started leaking, so pulled the sender, re-installed with ProSeal, and no leaks
the last few years.

Happened
to me the same way on the -4. I was able to seal it by carefully
cleaning around the sender bulkhead and applying Proseal externally
around the edges without removing the tank. That cork gasket is a bad
idea. Used Proseal on the -8 with no problems.

After having fuel in it since November of
2007 my right tank decided to start leaking for no good reason today.
Leaking from the fuel level sender gasket. Cant even remember what I used
to seal it with, but next time it gets Pro
Seal.
