More then likely its your fuel bowl drain valve, try opening and closing it a few times. Sometimes it gets some dirt or crud in it and will not seal. If not you need to replace the o rings.

Mine has a slighty small pool in the valley all the time. After doing the hpop and reinstalling the bowl it leaked from the small rubber fuel line back there. I replaced it and i Think itstill leaks a bit.

Where can I get the o ring rebuild Joe?
