Not silly no, as this all new to me. When I last had bikes 15 years ago, I didn't do any maintenance myself, whereas now I do everything.
There were no tubes (apart from the feed line), which I did think was a bit odd. Just two pipe ends on the bottom of the tank. I guess I need to work out what needs finding/replacing.

That will explain the small leakage I had when I tipped the tank back again. :\
Lesson learnt. I'll take it off properly from now on.
