Don't know... I'm in pure speculative territory.

Perhaps the leak is small enough that it's allowing you to smell fuel, but it's evaporating before it can drip.

Your mileage is so lousy, the fuel has to be going somewhere besides into the engine, it seems. If you were running THAT rich you'd really notice it in the bike's performance/smoke. Blue smoke...distinctive smell (not like gasoline).
