Your going to have to isolate the leak. Is it a plastic or metal tank? I had a leak on my plastic tank many years ago. Turned out some critter had chewed a hole thru the tank. You could see the teeth marks. I ended up repairing it with jbweld and surrounded tank with 1/4” steel mesh.

Mt TYM/cabelas 27hp had cracks around top gauge attachment where it was improperly sonic welded. Would leak if over 5 gallons was added. Cabelas replaced just before shutting down
