Leaky tank
I had the same problem. Fixed it with some tank sealer from Frosts. Wasn't cheap though.

I was going to suggest the frost stuff too. They used it in Practical Classics for a really quite manky tank and it appears it did the job
nicely....

I second what Rusty Nuts said - Petropatch. I repaired multiple leaks on my Montesa trials bike ali tank over 20 years ago and it is still going
strong.
M & P do it £3.49
