I might put this one to the compression fitting where the gas line ties into the carb. This one is adjacent to the fuel filter and the fittings as being provided by the parts people are particularly poor quality.

Now everyone seem to has replacement gas lines with the fittings included - these are compression in theory, have a "shear off" seal ring made as part of the hex, emulate perfectly the original two piece (hex fitting and seal ring) when in place, but in my experience, leak like a sieve.

You can buy the old fashioned hex fitting and ring separately - most don't because they're handed the one piece hex/seal and "why do I need a better fitting when one is included."

I'll take a leak tight gas line for $200 Alex. Maybe that's reason enough?
