Default Fuel leak

Before I take all the fairings off and start searching for this damn fuel leak, could anyone give me some suggestions on where to start looking?

My bike is sitting straight up cause I have it parked in a chock to help with space in the garage. Noticed that it has started leaking slightly. Cut the fuel off and ran the engine to burn of all the fuel and the leak stopped. A week later, turned the fuel back on and cranked it up and fuel started leaking even more. Took my flashlight but couldn't pin point the location. Pulled the fuel tank but still can't locate it. I'm sure its something real simple. Any suggestions where I should start looking? Gotta be a loose or cracked hose, I think.

Check around your fuel pump and where the fuel hose It's into the carbs. You should be able to see where the trail comes from.

Also look at the petcock on the bottom of the tank, you'll see it as wet and greasy if its there around where it mounts to the tank.

My hunch would be the line coming out of the fuel pump. But that is just a hunch. As long as it's not one of the plastic T's, it should be a super easy fix.
