Not an expert but that looks like the gaskets have gone as it looks wet around that area? A carb clean + rebuild is always a good idea!
Yeah I'm thinking that.
Out of interest. If I'm not riding for a bit, should I turn fuel tap to close and run the engine till it dies, to clear carb of fuel?
my old triumph wanted the fuel tap to close every time I parked up.
Personally I'd drain the carb with the drain plug rather than running the engine to cutting out, but I'm paranoid
What fuel do you have access to? With carbs it's recommended not to use E10 as if left in the tank for long periods can cause issues. You can buy an additive to prevent that if you can only get E10
