I noticed that a had a little bit of leaking around the bottom of the fuel tap (petcock).
I had taken it apart yesterday, but I'm not sure if it was leaking before that.
Would you guys suggest a new o-ring as the place to start?

Rebuild kit or a new petcock off of E-bay.

and make sure the tangs of the thin metal cover (the petcock lever goes through it) are putting decent pressure against the petcock assembly.
you'll see what i mean when you pull it apart.

Thanks 6 Riders and ohgood for the responses. I was looking at it today and it seems to have stopped leaking.
I'll keep an eye on it, but hopefully it somehow sealed itself.
