Been in touch with the dealer, and they have sent me suggestions on how I can repair the "leak." I am very disappointed in this scooter, would never buy it again, and hope to get this thing back on the road w/o spending hundreds more in labor costs (I don't have much mechanical aptitude). Any suggestions on how to get the panels off the scooter so that I can at least attempt to fix this problem would be appreciated. I guess I got what I paid for, huh?

SOLUTION:
When the factory test drive the scooter the technician carries a gallon of gas, puts it between his legs, unhook the gas hose that connects to the carburetor and connects his temprory hose. Many times the technician does not hook back the original hose to the carb. If you open the seat and unscrew one screw that is holding a cover, you will be able to see the hose that is leaking the gas. Just connect it to the carb and you are OK.
