Question MIL and Gas tank leak

Hey guys, My MIL is on and is pulling a P0174 (system lean bank 2). my gas tank has a leak as well. but its on the bottom right above the strap. i dont think that the leak would pull the code but some people are tellin me yes. i have done the manifolds and gaskets on it and i still have the code. any advice?

P0174 code could be a vacuum leak. The PCV valve or any vacuum hose may have a leak

i fixed the code but now my front end is clunking like a s.o.b. it only does it under 70mph and it gets louder the slower im going. it sounds like my front axle or drive shaft is about to drop out.
