Fuel Leak

It was a beautiful day and my first day home for my (last   :) ) spring break.  I decided to pull the GS out and get it ready for the spring, maybe even get a quick ride in...  Well, to my chagrin I noticed that my idle was extremely high (stuck choke cable, no prob) and I have a fuel leak.  :o
I pulled the tank and it seems to be coming from the lower T-fitting on the carbs, I believe this is the inlet.  The hose from the fitting to the lowest point is covered in fuel and drips, when running, onto the crankcase.  Also, the entire T-fitting is soaked in fuel.  Is/are there a seal(s) that need replaced, or is there something else I should look for?  Any ideas? It is a 1993 by the way.

The T-fitting will need to be replaced, and that's all that I can think of.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

good judgement trumps good skills every time.

There's also a seal on either side of the T.  They're relatively cheap.
