Default Ultimate Bipe fuel mess

I just flew my .60-size Ultimate Bipe for its fourth flight and I've got a problem!!! I am finding fuel all over the servos, leads and the receiver battery in the fuselage after flying. I don't understand how this is happening. I did notice a 1/8" gap between the lower wing and the fuse, so the fuel is definitely coming in there, but the receiver battery is in the forward compartment under the fuel tank, so how would it be getting there? It seems like the wooden shelf that the fuel tank sits on is pretty wet with fuel too. I didn't think this would ever be a problem since I built a brass exhaust deflector for my muffler.(Magnum 1.20 four-stroke) I really don't relish the idea of having to rebuild this fuselage. What do I do?!?!?
