Default Extremely Frustrating Fuel leak issue

I pulled off the carbs to clean them about a month ago, every thing seemed fine inside the carb. I put the carbs back on the bike and when I started the bike, fuel started leaking out the top of the carb where the air vacuum system connects. I thought that maybe I hooked up some lines wrong, took it to a shop and they apparently took the carbs off and put the hoses back on right. The bike still didnt want to start, but I finally did get it to after cleaning the spark plugs which is weird, I guess its flooding? But I got the bike running and rode for a day and then the next day I went riding again and I at first thought I was out of fuel as the bike is bogging down, and look down and see gas gushing out. The gas is leaking right from where it was leaking before! I will take a picture of where it is leaking but if I cant fix this problem, I am getting rid of this bike, even though I really dont want to. I will take some pics tomorrow, but if anyone can give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it

Pull the tank off and just take a look make sure all the spring hose clamps are in place. Here is a pic of the air hose set up, if your bike does not have the sticker on the airbox with the diagram. Did you take the carbs apart down to the individual carb? as in the 10mm bolt on the sides holding them together as a unit. It will pour full out at the joint where two carbs come together where the main fuel passage is.
