Found the leak.
The T shaped plastic piece on the left bank, between carb between carb 4 and 6 if I’m not mistaken
Yup, so it was definitely the o-rings. They were so dry they all snapped in two when I wanted to remove them.
Yep. Very common unfortunately.
KTRT:
Eh, I like wrenching, and I knew from the get go I’d have to clean the carbs anyway.
Besides, while I’m waiting for the kit, I was able to find some tubing to do some vacuum lines, those were horrible too, and I’ll replace the timing belts, just in case.
KTRT:
Okay, small dumb question as I’m busying myself with the hoses.

Number 14, what are those hoses linked to?
And while I’m at it, does anyone has a trick for hoses that are stuck to plastic parts? I was trying to remove the draining hoses without breaking the plastic piece in the middle, and kinda stop before breaking it.

I may be wrong but I believe those are vent / overflow tubes that go into the rear stay.
This kinda shows where they go if I'm thinking of the right part. Youtube Link
On stuck hoses for me it's 50/50 on if I can get them off without causing more damage. I take a small pick or screwdriver and try to get it between the hose and connector then rotate it. Sometimes the rubber has deteriorated to much and cracks.
Mooskee:
Timbo is correct. The #14 hoses are vent tubes and remain open to atmosphere. When fuel enters the bowl, the air goes out those tubes. The are placed in the rear stay as Timbo stated.
