Gas, leak left side, on top of "twinkie"...

[Lug Nut]

1998 RSTC. Did water pump rebuild....git it all buttoned up rode it a couple times...everything fine. Rode a few days ago and could feel motor rpm change at idle agony smelled gas....looked down and saw agony small puddle/dripping from the twinkie area down on the chrome cover on the left side of the motor. Rode to a gas station...wiped dow with paper towels...no leak when not running. Stuffed some paper towels down by the twinkie and rode home fine....

 

Checked it after a few hours....started bike and no leak..

 

Before I tear anything apart I will seafoam the tank and see if it frees up anything that might be stuck....

 

 

Am I looking at a stuck float or dirty needle? I have no experience with carbs on bikes other than spraying deep creep in them...lol

Dajavu to me I am having same exact issue but mine appears to be from #2carb its been a pita trying to track what it is. Could it be one of the rubber hoses for the carbs? I know mine was leaking there at one time.
