I filled my tank up this morning and I just noticed that there is gas stain on the pavement directly below my bike 2006 Electra Glide UCI, is there an overflow or vent that could cause this?

SOURCE: Rear fuel line at the tank is leaking

The connection is a quick dissconnect, I unpluged the line by pushing up on the bottom of the fitting and pulling down on the retainer . This allowed me to unplug the line. I then removed the fitting that was threaded into the tank and found the rubber "O" ring was bad, I replaced the "O" ring and put the parts back together. ( i sprayed a little WD 40 on the Quick dissconnect and applied a small amount of "O" ring lube to the ring prior to putting everything back together )

SOURCE: Fuel leaking into crankcase on 2001 Honda CBR 600

it's probably leaking from the carb and down the cylinder into the crankcase.
it is probably due to a stuck float in the carb. take the float bowl off and make sure it is clean. the float can also be full of gas not letting it float up and stop the gas flow. the carb will fill up and leak wherever it can which is likely the case

SOURCE: can't fill gas tank on 2002 Sportage

Try not to put nozzle completely in the tank. There is an anti-syphoning device that is smaller than the rest of fill tube and can cause back pressure. This can be removed
