Leaky tank around pivot arm weld - NSR125R

Got petrol leaking and have narrowed it down to the pivot, problem is the leak is coming from underneath it Sad

Fuel is coming out very slowly in the right position (I mean slow as in a drip a week) but when I take the tank off and put it on its end it comes out a lot, seeps out.

I did have a small crash on it, and possibly thinking I bent it in the process to cause the hole.

Whats the best thing I can do?

Dont they do something you can put in the tank to seal it up?

Of those 2 which is best to go for? Chemical metal seems appealing but messy?

Petseal - 2 part epoxy resin that seals the tank up from the inside. Good stuff.

Would any of the stuff you put inside the tank effect the res at all? It won't seal it or anything? Bit dubious about the option.
