I shut my gas off every time I shut the bike off to prevent something like that. Might want to pull the oil filter and see if that smells like gas too. Might have been a stuck float or small piece of crud in the float needle allowing gas to overflow the bowl. If the oil smells like gas change it right away. Might want to just to be sure. Gas in the oil isn't good for lubrication.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
