Yes, if it is sucking air before the lift pump and it gets worse. Maybe you should consider installing a electric fuel pump. Also check the bleed off hose from the filter head down to the injector cap

If this happen right after You changed the fuel caps and o-rings then You have no sited the caps all the way IN. You can put some grease or Vaseline on the rings and then use a long socket and small hammer to punch them IN just a small firm tap so they sit right.

It could turn into a bigger leak. I would fix it though because running your engine like that is not good.

Ok then You just remove the fuel hoses or inspect them for any cracks then You check the fuel tank selector o-rings and the ones at the fuel tanks if possible (front is easier than rear) that should take care of it.
