Mine was doing the same thing. It is most likely your fuel drain valve leaking, but the other o rings on the fuel bowl could be leaking too. I went ahead and resealed the whole fuel bowl. It only took about an hour and now there is no more leaks. Here is the kit I used.

What he said plus look at the fuel lines where they run through the clips, they tend to rust &/or rub through from vibration
