Since I had it serviced last week whenever I take her on a run there is a strong smell of petrol (or is it exhaust fumes?) that smells out the garage. I noticed a couple of drops of oil that leaked from one of those two hoses that hang out below the engine, but only a couple of drops - nothing major. Is that related? Can't see any other leaks.

Has anyone had this problem? I wondered if the mechanic has forgotton the screw something back on??

What service was performed? That could help to narrow it down.

Other than that, you are not overfilling the tank are you?

Sorted. Jumped to wrong conclusion about the service. It was a hose between I guess the petrol tank and the engine which was "stretched", I.e. leaking. Luckily I discovered this just prior to a big 12 day trip, which I'm now happily on.

Yes, there is not much slack in the tank to fuel connection line. You can only lift the tank a small amount to get your hand in there to remove the fuel line.

Glad you sorted it out before there was a fire.
