    Leaking gas.. From air box?

    I haven't seen this before. My bike is an '83 gs850. Went out today and gas was leaking out of the airbox. I had it running yesterday with no problems. Is this a bad petcock? My thinking is the petcock went bad, and is freely letting gas flow to the carbs, which are backing up into the air box. However, I smelled the oil in the engine and it didn't smell gassy. If the carbs were backing up, wouldn't they dump gas into the engine as well? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

    it depends on the tilt of your bike.
    On the centre stand my 400 gas would run into the engine..on the sidestand, somewhere else .
