Yes, there is a little valve under that foam. If it is leaking there you will see it when you fill your tank and test your fuel line.

Fuel line ok but put it on its side and fuel weeps out of breather especially when on its side to work on chain side

Did ok on Monday just 3 small trees to chop up. Saw is great after a tune but should it keep getting build up of oily crud from here it's a strip down just to clear it . Any advice welcome. View attachment 569051

Look's like your chain could need a proper sharpening.
