Default Fuel leak?

Hi

Recently I have noticed that there is fuel around the needles on my engine. I have the F4.1. There is loads of fuel around the HSN, LSN and the idle needle. There is also some on the first fin of the engine head and the bit where the air filter joins the carb. There is some on the side of the TVP aswell as all over the fuel lines, near the engine. What could have happened? I dont have any spare fuel line, so I cant check that, although I have checked that the head is screwed on firmly and it is not that.

Thanks

will any grease do? I only have some Tamiya stuff I use for the bevel gears. Is anything better/worse that I should look out for?

Thanks
