Default Oil leak

Guys,

Need your assistance. I have an oil leak problem on my PR12. It runs fine at around 115~126deg C depending on weather. Power is good. Low end acceleration is ok and high end is great.
After each tank, I see massive qty of fuel under my chassis, all over the brakes, rear belt, rear arms, etc. I checked the fuel tank and there's no leak there. Changed the fuel tubings too.Could it be the front bearing? Seems too much fuel to be coming out of the front bearing, since it's rubber sealed.

I am using a VXR pipe with 5mm stinger. High end needle about 2 1/2 turns out. Low end about 1 3/4 turns out.

Please advise...

Thanks in advance.
