Unhappy Vstar 650 leaking fuel again!!!!!!!

so a couple of weeks ago i posted that my 650 01' vstar classic was leaking gas out of the carb overflow. well i broke it down cleaned the carbs used seafoam and everything was fine for a bit...so im drivin home from work and i lose power goin about 70 i am slowly slowing down and my exhaust sounds muffled, there is no response when i put on the throttle, so i coast into the gas station and turn offf the bike tryin to see if theres a leak or anything i can see.I see nothing, so i start up rev a little and drive around the parking lot and feels like everthings normal again. so i drive home park the bike have a beer and fall asleep. So i came out the next day to check it out and turned the key, fuel pump kicks on and all of a sudden i see drips of fuel on the heat shielding under the carb. I dont know where its comming from but i took off the tank, ran fuel line to the carb, and started with all the junk out of the way. i still dont know where its comming from looks like it drips from the base of the front carb but i dunno. Can Anyone Help Me With Some Direction thanx Yall
