Default uh oh.. GAS LEAK!

on my 2000 yamaha grizzly 600, it looks like its coming from the unit right next to the idle adjuster... i think i have it plugged for now, but it seems like there is a port underneath for a hose, but there is no hose going to it.. nor can i find one... need some help.. anyone have any ideas?? my whole house smells like gas now from the leak in the garage..

come to find out, the throttle was stuck, and I didnt turn the gas valve off... soaked up all the gas tonight, and cranked her up, let her run for about 45 minutes on idle to burn off any excess gas and the leak has stopped... i was a little worried, but shes fine now.....
