They refueled the saw with the same mix they had ran it with since we bought it. I am here and they are checking it over..T minus 30 mins before i know whats up with it.

Ok well the results are not too bad. It needs a carb adjustment and rebuild. They said the gas was way too rich and ate the seals in the carburetor. Compression was great and the piston has normal use scoring. The cause of the gas leaking out the muffler was the carb was just pouring gas into the motor and choking it out. The warranty is out by a month so i waited a bit too long to take it for repair and im just tired of this saw. I have decided to sell it and get me a jonesred from the same dealer i took it to as i am very impressed with the quality of jonesred and the power they have

Sorry, but 120 psi is not "great" compression for this saw. Not even close. And I dont know what "normal scoring" is on a piston. It shoudnt be scored at all if its not running too lean, which it obviously was. 120 psi + scored piston = wrong fuel (whether because of carb settings, mix settings or other, im not sure but its almost certainly run too lean).
You said you bought it 6 - 8 months ago. Dolmar has a 1 year warranty. Doesnt add up.
Maybe i missed it but where did he say it tested at 120 psi?

He sent me a PM because I was (previously) interested in buying the saw until all of these things started not adding up. From the PM:
What's that smell???
