It's not a dangerous leak, it's an Environmental Protection Agency leak. It will eventually set a small evap leak code and light the CEL from time to time if it is the most common leak. If your car is earlier than VIN 20000 the tanks swelled and the pressure sensor would actually touch the sheet metal under the car. You can see this by pulling up the back seat bottom and opening the round cover. If the little sensor looking thing plastic welded into the top of the tank is touching the body you will probably see a wet spot around it. Epoxy may work if the tank stops swelling. If the line retainer is broken it's the clip fix, but gas usally pours out under the car when the retainer breaks. We have had a recall for that, but I don't know if it goes back to 99.
