help with fuel leak in '91 22RE

Hello all, I think I'm having an fuel pressure issue with my '91 22RE. At first it was leaking out of the hose in between the fuel pump bracket and the hard fuel line. I replaced both the hose and the bracket, but not the pump. It no longer leaks from that interface, but now leaks out of the evap canister. The fuel fill pipes are not kinked and the cap is new. Still there seems to be too much pressure in the tank. Also, it doesn't leak immediately, it has to warm up first. When it is leaking out of the evap canister, if I take the gas cap off and release the pressure in the tank the leak stops immediately.
Any thoughts? I don't want to set into diagnosing the vaccum system if I don't have to because my skills there suck. Also, I don't believe it's the fuel pump because usually pumps fail in the other direction, i.e. no pressure as opposed to too much, right?
Any help in the diagnosis area would be greatly appreciated...

One more thing. The return line and vent line in the sending bracket are at two different heights. I reasoned (because I was an idiot and didn't mark them when taking them off) that the high line goes to the evap canister and the low line comes from the pressure regulator. Is this correct?
