Red, I hope it's not your fuel pump.  Start wiping things down under the burner and lay a dry paper towel down.  That should tell you what's leaking.

Good luck.

OK outer covers off and fuel is dripping off the 2 metal fuel lines on bottom of motor, and around the gasket/rubber surround plug.
When I fired it up had a lot of white smoke indicating unburnt fuel , after a minute or so cleared up but still had the belch & gurgles.
Next is figuring out how to remove the motor/pump to get to the burner.
Is there fuel line shut offs or do I just have to plug the rubber hoses where they connect to the metal tubes that enter the motor?
Still haven't found what I need to see after a search, but may re-word the question perimeters a bit and see what shows up.
This is a AH 100 series .

I've used these metal fuel line clamps on the AH fuel lines to close them off so fuel doesn't siphon out of the main tank.  If you have a leak you can use pliers to get them good and tight until you can get to a shop.
