Default 450r gas leak?

Hey. This weekend I got my first ATV, the 06 trx450r. It was amazing riding it, since i wanted an atv for about 10 years or so, i don't know exactly...anyway...After i was done riding and had to clean up, I flipped it up to clean the bottom of the swingarm and everything on the bottom. There were two tubes leaking tons of gas, it was just flowing out. I figure this is pretty horrible...but i just wanted to make sure something was seriously wrong. I've had it for about...a day and a half when i found the leak. It still runs fine, but im scared, haha. Should I take it back to the dealer? It could've been there already since i didn't check it fully, but I also could've torn it riding i guess...I didn't ride too rough, just getting a feel for it. Thanks for the help.

That's just gas coming out the overflow tube. Next time you flip it up to clean the underside make sure you turn the gas off. A little will come out at first but will stop once the carb. bowl is empty.
