just stared the zxr after 3 weeks of sitting there and there is a petrol leak coming from the fuel pump area it was dripping every where. not sure if a rubber hose could have split ? anyone had this before

could well be a perished hose mate, mine had gone by the fuel tap so just nipped the end off.
