  I'll look around that area and see what hoses are around but not sure then......

No, it's not draining from a vent hose that I can see. the gas is just dripping off the bracket that's directly under the muffler where the two header pipes join. The bike has been parked for about a week. it fired right up and fumes began rising from that area of the bracket. No hissing from the cap like it did before. I reckon I will take the cap apart again and start there.

off the top I would say float bowl issue first, in the carb.

Then if this happened before I would check the vent on the gas cap, and the gas cap its self.

can you find the hose or were it is dripping from?

  Hello all! I'm a fairly new Drifter 800 owner and love this bike. I recently discovered fuel dripping off the exhaust clamp beneath the front of the muffler. I cannot see where its coming from! About a year ago, fuel just poured out of the vent tube from the tank after I parked it. I cleaned out the cap and that solved the issue.
Is this another clogged cap issue or is fuel running thru the exhaust??? Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thnx, Pooh
