Default Blazer stalling because of fuel leak?

When I start the engine, the car will run for about 1 minute or a few minutes at most, and it will just randomly shut off. I can put the key back in and start it again no problem. But same thing will happen and I think it will shut off even faster. I just noticed there is fuel leaking near the edge of the fuel tank. I think it only leaks when car is running. If you go to the back of the car and look down at the fuel tank, it is leaking at the bottom edge.

The area where it is leaking looks kinda burned and black rust buildup? It is not leaking a lot, looks like just continuous dripping at the bottom edge. Maybe it is leaking because it is too old and corrosion/rust caused a small leak? This is a 1999 Chevy Blazer so I expect everything under the car to look dirty and old. Can I fix it with epoxy or something?

Can a leak like this cause the car to randomly shut off? I can start the car no problem every time but it will die after a few minutes. I checked the fuel pressure and it looks like it is at 54 psi. engine off key on, and idle psi are both 54. Is 54 ok or just a little bit too low to keep the car running? I just changed the fuel filter and I can hear fuel pump priming.
