Willie, if you can actually see a leaking gasket, then you are lucky. I suggest you take out the tank and clean and inspect the top. There are seven or so fittings there that may leak, and there are excellent spots for rust. I replaced my tank after discovering that the top had turned into a sort of metal blotting paper. I could see the petrol soaking through it. Good luck
