So, I have been finding gas under my seat. Placed rags and have determined the gas is coming from fuel pump area. Here’s the weird part. If I bring sled into garage, pull back end up to lift track off the ground, start motor and run it very hard, I can’t find any sign of where the gas is coming from!? I’ve tried jiggling the quick connect where gas line joins pump and all around the pump cover with zero sign. Took a ride with tank half full and still end up with gas on rags under seat in that area? Totally stumped. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

pull the fuel pump out and check/reset the o-ring.
 
It's usually the quick connect that you have circled or the pinch clamp, the hose gets soft after some time, just put regular hose clamps, that's what happened to me at least, also at the fuel filter at the front of the tank.
 
Thx for the suggestions everyone. By wrapping Saran Wrap around the quick-connect attachment I was able to determine that’s where the leak was coming from. Took a weak for part to arrive but simple fix - even for someone with limited mechanical skills such as myself....
