Jeff,

Did you check the lines going to the overflow tanks in the wheelwells?  The
braided lines can rot, soak up fuel when full or sloshing around, and then
drip or at least evaporate the stuff the exterior is saturated with.  5mm fuel
line and worm clamps will do.  These are not high-pressure lines.
