I tightened up the clamps and then noticed a small steel tube near the rear of the tank on the left side that was damp. That may be a vent pipe! (I didn't check any further because the "leak" had stopped).
You may also want to completely remove the petcock from the bottom of the tank and check the filters on the end of the pick up tubes.
I checked the petcock valves and they looked fine. I appreciate your suggestion on the fuel tank vent. I looked at a diagram of my tank on-line and it shows a pipe/tank breather, a roll over valve and another pipe..basically a long tube in 2 parts upper and lower both attached to a roll over valve...I'm wondering if this is what you're are referring to.?
