It's a leaky tank

Got home from work today a pulled off all the carpeting. Large puddle of coolant on the floor of the trunk. I can see a small drip every 30 seconds from the underside of the tank. It looks like a pretty easy swap out with a new tank if I can use existing hoses. But all the DIY describe removing the hoses from the engine side. Is the rationale "while you're there replace the hoses"? Anyone ever disconnect the hoses from the old tank, put in the new tank and reconnect the hoses? Also, is the Oil Fill Plastic pipe that runs adjacent to the tank moveable or fixed. Hate to break it off.
If I could get it fixed for $600 I would but I'm in Fort Lauderdale, easy $1000.
