    Those snapped hoses are called breather hoses, its to let fumes out of the tank. You shoudnt be leaking from them hoses, does it only leak when you fill it to the top? Have a look at this thread and you can see where the hoses go.

    The breather hoses and other parts of the fuel system age and break. You will probably find those pipes plus where they go (the other end) will have perished as well.
