Gas leaking from the side of the body when the fuel fill inlet was facing up. Determined that the fuel was leaking around the fuel line where it came out of the tank
Removed the handle, carburetor, and plastic piece under the carburetor to access the fuel line where it comes out of the tank.
Fished the fuel filter out the gas fill port and removed the fuel filter.
Ended up cutting the old fuel line where it enters the tank.
Removed the old fuel line pieces out from the top and bottom.
Was having a tough time pressing the new line into the hole at the top of the tank so I added a dab of grease and it slipped right in.
Used a piece of thin wire to fish the new fuel line to the gas filler port in order to reinstall the gas filter.
Will install a new gas filter the next time the saw runs out of gas.
