Well it certainly sounds like you have found the problem.

Could the rubber pipe/connector have gone porous?

If you don't want to pay someone to fit a new one for you, then you may just need to live with it for a while longer.

As you say it only happens when refilling, and you don't fill up that often so not a major problem really.

I have a similar, but different, issue with my bike in that if I fill up 100% I get a weep of petrol from the seal around the top plate on the tank.

Now I only ever put 10 litres in at the 100 mile point on the trip and it's happy days.

Edit - Have a look at this ebay listing from Caffyns - they say it's a common cause of fuel leaks
