Saw from the 70's. Fuel leaking from the bottom of the tank through one of the seams between body parts. On the clutch side of the saw, there's a panel below the clutch with some screws holding it on. Is that the fuel tank? Is there anything you can put in the seam where the panel fits on to prevent the fuel from leaking out? The leak comes from the bottom of the saw when it is running, and the saw is in a horizontal position. I was thinking some Permatex or Marine Tex to stop the leak. Thanks. Oh, one other thing, it leaks about 10 drops per second, and it is most definitely fuel, not bar oil.
