1998 Mazda 626 Issues?

312 000km on car, 200 000 km on motor, 2.0 Liter 5 Speed.

Issue 1: Gas tank (plastic) is leaking at the top, strong odor when full. Does not leak when on flat ground, but steep hills and jerky driving cause it to leak until about 3/4 full.

Issue 2: Common with older engines, the bottom half is moist with oil (not yet dripping), not coming head gasket or oil pan. What can it be and how do I help it?

Issue 3: Just yesterday I noticed my amp amplifying engine and turn signal static. I think my deck is a pioneer DEH-1900MP and I am using the RCA cables on the back to signal the sub. When unpluged from the back of the deck all the noise is gone. I assume it is a ground issue in the stereo?

I change my oil and filter regularly with full synthetic.None of my fluids leak (but gas) and it does not burn oil.

Feel free to share any helpful mazda hints.

I use to have a 1993 with over 500 000km on it, all original. I put a hard 50 000km on it before it let me down. I sold it, but it only cost $150 to get it back on the road. YAY Mazda!
