This is possible too. It's a 2003 bike so before the vacuum petcocks (2007 onwards I think). I'm checking to see if it's leaking in the off position. I've got a small bottle taped to the petcock. If there's anything in the bottle tomorrow it means it's leaking even when off. I would have thought the float needle would stop the fuel flowing into the carb and then into the crank case though if that was the case? Unless the float needle or seat is dodgy. I'm going to get a carb rebuild kit too and make sure it's all good to rule that out.
I'm going to dump the oil too and check it for signs of fuel.
It's at the mileage though that a lot of stators seem to go, so might be best to swap it out anyway. Not cheap though, even for a decent aftermarket one.
