And if they aren't overflowing from the floats another common leakage point 
is the gland seals on the jets towards the bottom of both carbs.  Anyway, if 
the trunk looks dry and the smell isn't coming from that area then it is 
coming from the carbs, and if not the carbs then the only other option is 
the fuel line from the tank an back up to the carbs in front.  Gas flows 
fast and as noted by you and others today has a distinctive odor, a littlle 
work with your nose and flashlight should help find it.   Should not be too 
hard to find.  Once found post here again if you are stumped on the fix.
