Few problems with 'new' brick. 700 1991

Last week I lay my hands on another Volvo and "by default" became 700 forum user. I'm getting ready for the road with it and car has some issues.
First: When the engine is running there is a noise from under the rear of the car and gas is dripping from around the gas tank, closer to the center of the car. Engine stops and the dripping stops as well. Where should I start checking?
Second: When the Brick is on the road it pulls to the right. Tire presure is even. What could it be?
Third: The transmission. It shifts from second to third at over 4000 RPM ( my 940 does it at around 2500-3000 RPM ), overdrive works fine. Do you think that flushing transmission and filling with synthetic ATF will help?

The car is 745 turbo SW '91 with 202000 km.

Thank you for any comments you can give me.

Please describe the "noise". Could be the fuel pump doing extra duty because of the gas leak. You need to get under the car and take care of this ASAP. Gas and hot exhause pipes don't mix well. Sorry, I'm a stick guy and don't know much about the auto boxes.

I've checked connection to the gas tank ( under the cover behind seats ) and everything is fine there. Must be something in lines. Have to get under the car. I'm wonder if it is pain to replace it.
Thanks for your response.
