Default petrol leaking from breather pipes.

i've got a problem with my bike... which is quickly tunring into a bit of a lemon.

i had petrol coming out of the breather pipe that runs down the rhs of the engine towards the back, nearish the brake lever. This started a couple of months ago, so i did a bit of a bodge and i popped a bolt into the rubber pipe. Since then the bike has ran fine, so I thought nothing more of it.

more recently, the bike has had a bit of a misfire and i got to work stinking of petrol. On investigation, theres a small white plastic pipe to the right of the air filrer box next to the frame. (open topped, looks like the top of a 2lt coke bottle) that has petrol spilling out of it... its full to the brim with petrol and it keeps oozing over the top.

i've no idea why petrol is coming out of my breather in the first instance or what this new pipe is that it now leaking...

any ideas. thanks for your help
