eXmark mower - leaking gas ?

[Rickcin]

It appears the Kawasaki 15 hp engine is leaking what appears to be gas even thou the gas valve is closed so I would imagine it is leaking from one of the carburetors ?

I guess I need to remove the air filter assembly in order to be able to view the issue ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Rick

I would check the condition of the neelde and seats in the carb. It could be overflowing and filling your crankcase with fuel.
