Fuel leaking from the vents is due to a float valve problem.

I checked all checkable and rebuilded it with new parts... Sometimes dosent leaks for days sometimes leaks for days... And stops leaking with no operation on carb :v The raptor petcock in USA costs 31$ shipped... in italy 100€ in store

(Believe it or not, a few folks have installed the petcock with that hose over the filter).

Did you also change the valve seat and it's O-ring ? they come as a matched set . Seeing your comment under the last picture that the carb still leaks some times ,made me think it might be that or your float level may also be set to high. If your carb is still flooding you could be sending gas into your oil in the crank case. I'd be looking into this rather than thinking it's OK if it does it less often. It should never do it.
