2005 GZ Leak Starting problem leaks from cylinder near exhaust

Went to start bike Friday morning. Cranked and used jump starter. no luck

Today I checked gas tank seemed very strange I only went 84 miles on 3+ gallons in tank.
I added 2 gallons and started up and I ran it a minute, had other things to do.....

Later today I try cranking it over and doesn't start.
Smells of gas.
Leaks from exhaust where it attaches to head and oil and gas mix from cylinder head.

So I'm thinking I have new carb parts and needle, maybe it got stuck flooding gas into engine, looked at sight gas its full! it wasn't the other day I checked oil level when I started up bike Thursday.

Then the oil and gas coming out of head? new gaskets needed and torqued. I haven't torqued them ever. I glanced at some thread on here the bolts get loose over time and intervals

In past week I've gone to and from work a few times prior to this no issues. Also several weeks since I replaced carb parts and cleaned.
