Gas odor

Gas odor
Lately I've noticed the smell of gas when I'm around the bike. It's not overpowering, but it's definitely there. I can't see any leakage. I also have been in the habit of leaving the petcock in the open position for quite a while now. Any ideas on why I can smell the gas?? Should I be shutting off the fuel supply when I'm not riding? I know it's recommended, but I got tired of forgetting to turn it on when I start up in the morning so I tend to leave it on most of the time.

RE: Gas odor
fumes will find there way out through any cracks, if the smell is noticable but their is no dripping, you still have a leak, i would try to find it.
but on a carbed bike where the fuel system isnt made to impossibly specific specs i would suspect the fumes to get out somewhere
you might also want to check the seal on your gas cap, easy culprit, not noticable beucase it doesnt spew gas like other parts of the bike.
