Sounds like the over flow tube. Your float may be sticking. You can try tapping on the bowl (bottom part) of the carburetor with a screw driver and see if it stops. That may not do the trick if it's stuck badly though. Not something expensive or difficult to fix but does involve removing the carb. It is very common to see gas coming from the over flow if you drop the bike but shouldn't happen when upright.

It's hard to determine whether this tube should have gas coming from it without you describing exactly what tube you're referring to. Some gas tanks incorporate fuel vents with hoses that sometimes leak fuel under certain conditions, and this would be considered normal unless the fuel leakage appears to be excessive.
