Carburetor fuel line leak??

Hey everyone, I'm hoping somebody can give me an answer .The other day i cleansed up my carbs, threw them on the bike and noticed i had gas coming from the float bowl drain screws and from my fuel line. The brass colored line that i connect the gas tanks petcock to, that connects all the carbs.Right where it runs into carb #2 i have gas running out that rolls all the way down to carb #2's drain screw(which made me thought it was that) I was able to fix the float bowl issues on the others but I'm bot sure on how to approach this one. Is there an o-ring that goes inside it??

Any advice is much appreciated

Yes there are O-rings there. You will need to separate the carbs to replace them. They should be 10mm X 6mm X 2mm.

Do yourself a favour and replace all the o-rings in those cross tubes at the same time.

HAHA thats funny you mention that.. I actually went and changed the o-ring on the side that was leaking, got the carbs back together and the OTHER side of it started to leak

.So I had to take it off and replace that one.Thankfully now the carbs seem to be leak free. Now I just gotta get the bike to start.. Thanks for help everyone
