Fuel leak

[trousersnake01]

Chaps,  I have a fuel leak from somewhere,  when riding and come to a stop,  fuel pours off the bottom of the drive shaft.  So trying to find where it's coming from,  it looks like it's coming out of what looks like the fixing for the rectifier under the seat in the wheel arch / tray.  Any thoughts where that is leaking from.  I also see it on my side stand when down but I think that is a separate issue coming from one of the breather tubes when the fuel expands as opposed to it pissing out from somewhere else at the back of the tank.  Anyone remember where the fuel lines run?

Can't help with the fuel lines but I do have a manual for the bike in per format if you pm me your email address.

I have heard on some rare instances the rear of the tank can have very small pin holes caused by rust, you can lift up the rear gently and have a look.

Chaps,  have a look at this picture,  I'm about to take the bike apart trying to find my fuel leak,  however I've noticed that these two little bottle type things which I presume are some sort of expansion bottle from the tank overflow,  one of them seems to be jammed down in the gear linkage,  what is the correct position for them please,  a photo would help thanks

Well,  I found the culprit,  as I lifted the tank the fuel pipe popped off.  My last mechanic obviously hadn't clipped it back on last time the tank was off about two years ago.  The orange bit is a solid clip the pushes in to hold the hose over the flange on the silver pipe.  So,  hope that's cured now.
