Default Leaking fuel sending unit?

My fuel sending unit has started leaking a fair amount. My mileage has plummeted, and I parked in a garage and smelled gas, The whole back of the gas tank is wet with gasoline. I have Rex/Regina and I can’t seem to find a fuel sending unit for a Rex/Regina car... Can somebody help me find this part? Or point me in the right direction? It’s a 1990 N/A 740.

Unfortunately, it seems like Regina fuel senders are a bit harder to find. I recommend keeping an eye on this eBay seller, to snag one once this seller builds/acquires another one. This particular listing cites 91/92, but it might be worthwhile reaching out to him to see if he has any others available for sale:

The Fuel Sending Unit sits inside the tank, how can it "leak"? Even if the top cap is leaking that would be only when the tank is filled all the way to the top...
Better figure out exactly what's leaking before spending $.

I wasn’t sure exactly what the part is called, the cap was leaking from the banjo fitting and from another fitting, only after I’ve driven. I already ordered the part, so I guess I should say that, oh well.

I guess I’ll say I already ordered one. It was from that seller, he had one for sale yesterday for a 90 Regina. Thank you anyway.
