Default Fuel tank leaking from breather tube?

Well my bike either broke it off or someone if F-ing with my bike. AKA neighbor who thinks he is cool chit. Anyways it just started leaking like 2 days ago and i finally checked it today. The breather tube neck is broke off so the tube has nothing to connect to. But since its a breather tube should gas be leaking from here anyways? Thanks

I know its confusing huh. lol

Well when i take the tube off i can watch gas drip from it really slowly. But overnight it does make a small puddle. I did fill it and it was leaking and today i had almost no gas and it still leaks a small amount. I dont get why its leaking. Any ideas? I tired finding a picture of the tank cut in half and waht could be wrong but i had no luck. This is getting really annoying.

Ya the bike runs great. I just cleaned the carbs about 3 weeks ago and it only started leaking about a 1-1.5 weeks ago. Would floats cause gas to leak from the breather tube though?

If i cant get some opinions by this weekend im taking the whole tank off and trying whatever i can.

Thanks for any help.
