Gravity fuel tap is best turned off when bike not running - more prone to leaks than later vacuum taps.
Someone gave me a tip to turn the tap off a little while before you park up in garage - to let it drain the bowls a bit.
If it is just weeping from one or more carb overflow pipes and not all it is usually a bit of muck stopping the needle valve seating right.
All above are fairly common & nowt to worry about.
