Default Fuel leak

Right wing leading edge very small fuel leak. No drips but still leaves the famous blue streak over the skin. One upper and one of the lower rivets on the middle rib of the fueltank. Any one with suggestion for fix other than removing the tank?

Thanks

Search the archives for the green Loctite solution. Easy to do, and works well.

If the green loctite doesn't work, pressure cup injection is almost always a sure bet depending on how curved the skin is at the rivet.
