If your Husqvarna chainsaw is leaking gas, it could be due to a carburetor issue or a fuel line problem. To check the fuel line, you need to remove the top cover. If the return line from the primer bulb to the fuel tank has broken off, you can replace the single fuel line, but it's best to replace all the lines at once. You should work in a well-ventilated area and drain the tank, allowing it to dry before replacing the line. One way to do this is to stick a thin wire from the top into the tank, fish the end out through the cap, and push it through the end of the fuel line.

Check the fuel line condition
To check the fuel line condition, you will need to remove the top cover. If the problem is the return line from the primer bulb to the fuel tank, you can just replace the single fuel line, but it is best to replace all the lines at once.
To do this, you will need to take the saw apart. First, remove the handle assembly and disconnect the throttle linkage from it. Then, stick a thin wire from the top into the tank and fish the end out through the cap. Push it through the end of the fuel line, bend the wire, and pull it carefully. Grab the wire with pliers and pull it through the hole.
Before replacing the line, use caution when working around gasoline. Work in a well-ventilated area and drain the tank, allowing it to dry.
