    Fuel filler cap petrol leak

    Hi all, I've just lifted my tank (plastic 06 RSVR) and petrol started leaking from the filler cap surround. Any ideas? It is definitely fuel and not water, so I'm thinking it is bad seal around filler rim/cap. Could it be breather/drain hose related? Thanks in advance.

    oil smells like petrol

    As above really, oil level isn't rising or anything but it stinks of fuel, any idea why? The bike rides fine, doesn't bog down and splutter. I accidentally overfilled with oil so drained some out with a syringe and it was stinking.
