Sigh..Fix one leak just to find another.

After a wonderful ride today I changed my oil before the gal is about to sit in the garage for the winter. Only to find that she's now leaking fuel. Quite annoying. Not a whole lot, but enough to where it leaked down the side of the engine and is unmistakably fuel. I seem to have sourced the area of which the leak is. What do you guys think this could be? The latter picture is where I witnessed fuel leaking from.



 
I am going to do some guessing
I am thinking that the overflow rubber hose is bad or came off and the fuel dumped on the top of air cleaner or the back of throttle body and then ran down.
might start it up and watch in that area
Hth
 
I’ll go for another short ride today to see if I can replicate the issue and report back

I would start it up and let it idle for a while and check it good b4 climbing on because if it blows gas on your pants and then ignites it is going to be one hot ride
