Default Strong smell of gas

My 02 scrambler has a strong smell of gas just sitting in the garage after riding? What could be causing this?

Makes the the whole house small

where do I start? I don’t think it’ has a leak.

The gas gas and oil are mixed. That wouldn’t cause it would it?

it might be the float is sticking open in the carb, but you would be seeing gas come out some where the same goes with the fuel shut off on the tank might be leaking by. check for wetness and use the nose to try to pin point the strong smell.

Ok so it looks like the seal on the air clean is pushed out and my gas/oil mix is comming out??? I don’t think that should have the fuel mix in there. I will obviously fix the seal but why is the fuel even getting in there?

also I noticed the crank cAse duct hose that runs from the crank case to the other side has two big tears in it. Would this affect anything?
