i havent seen your leak as such, but guess its just the normal build up of used liquids from the breather and fuel and oil all in one which just sit in the metering head.

If you have a decent breather that returns the used contaninated crap to atmopsphere that would help alot.

Or if you block the return tp the airbox from the std breather and run the pipe that should go to the airbox to the floor that will also help. However the state of tune will be different and need a setup what ever breather option u use.

I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST EVER TAKING A METERING UNIT APART!!!
