It looks like I'm getting a new gas tank for the car. . .does anyone have a source for a cheap one? 200 1987

I looked around the fuel tank today, and it's not leaking from the fill spout, nor is it leaking from the fuel outlet port. The drain plug isn't leaking, either, so I figure that there must be a hole. The leaking is localized to the top of the flange (between the top and bottom halves of the tank) on the passenger side of the car. My guess is that either there is a hole rusted in it somewhere, or there it's leaking through the flange between the halves. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I'm thinking that the tank is probably shot, though. Does anyone have a source for a new one? I'm probably going to call the local dealer tomorrow, and maybe see if there's one in a junkyard in the area.
