I don't think so, just looks like gaskets showing to me...In the meanwhile, It's not stopping you from starting, but your fuel filter is on upside down...The smaller end of it should be facing the gas tank as you will see a small round magnet inside the casing that is supposed to attract any fine metals emanating from the gas tank...It is useless when facing the carburetor.Does it look to you like the casing is cracked underneath?
