No vacuum line on gas tank

OK, so upon replacing some of the older hoses that ran from the gas tank to the bike I found that several of them were in fact kind of cracked around the edges and decided to replace the ones that are like that. Which is more than I had hoped. One of them was even missing a bracket-like pin that holds it in place (although that didn't seem to affect anything in particular in regards to the leak).
But I did catch the Petcock leaking red handed. But not from where I thought...it was near the handle *and* where the insides are; so I'll probably end up replacing the whole thing if I can't fix the issue--but since I didn't get around to checking and cleaning the Float Valve I'll decide afterwards.

There are re-build kits out there, by the way, for the petcock - much cheaper than replacement.

Hahaha no problem man I'm waiting on the arrival -- I was looking at where the leak is from and noticed that it actually leaks from the lever and from the petcock valve so I decided to buy the petcock valve and the lever new separately for about $20 each, the repair kit is almost $40 on it's own and I figure it saves me the trouble of actually fixing the issue.
