Arrow More details please...

Fred, have the strainers been serviced with new O-rings, especially the one in the top?

You're not too specific as to where the leak is originating from and some more details would help out here.

If you've got fuel leaking from the inboard wing and down the side of the fuselage, of course that would dictate opening up the top inboard cover between the fuselage and the boom and taking a look-see at the two (and perhaps three if later model) inspection cover plates and their cork gaskets up top side. Over time these gaskets will dry out -- especially of tanks are not routinely kept full -- and when you first top off the tanks, you'll have a real gusher down the side of the plane.
