Fuel Leak

2001 FXST. Filled up at the pump. Rolled the bike backwards and noticed fuel dripping from lower frame area. No fuel lines there that I see. Checked the fuel lines from the tank to carb. No leaks.
Waited a minute and the dripping stopped. Rode 75 miles with no problems. What gives???

Fuel vent line at the top of the tank. Filled up enough to get fuel in there and it ran through the line and dripped onto the ground.

Fuel overflow vent. That’s kind of what I thought but I was not sure how it worked with this bike. Appreciate the information.
