If you can't trace the leak down to the fuel lines or the fuel valve itself,most of the time it's a worn carb needle and seat leaking past the overflow tube in the carb bowl. The clear tube hooks to the carb drain/over flow nipple on the bottom of the bowl. If you're not sure on working on carbs there's several videos on this along with carb kits on ebay, etc. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARB-REBUILD-REPAIR-KIT-POLARIS-96-97-98-99-POLARIS-XPLORER-300-4WD-EXPLORER-/271007753375?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f1952249f&vxp=mtr
