Yeah, it's probably leaking gas lol...Pull the body work, run the bike and use a flashlight to try to locate the leak.

You could try just replacing all the lines that go from the tank to the carbs, that's the more simple/cheap way to do it. Anything else will most likely be expensive to fix. Shouldn't cost more than maybe $30-40 for all the hoses. Make sure everything is clamped also, matter of fact, might try replacing all the clamps while you replace the hoses.

edit: might run the bike so the carbs are full, then pull the tank and the entire airbox and run the bike and see if maybe you could spot it a little better. You should have at least several minutes before the carbs use up all the fuel in them.
