so as i was walking to my car today i smelled gas and noticed a puddle under the tank, is there anything it could be other than the tank itself or the hoses from the pump to the hardlines?

Pull the cover for the pump access. You will be able to see the hoses going to it and hopefully pinpoint the leak. The fuel pump/sender o-ring can also go bad and leak liquid and vapors.
