(Apologies Disorderlypunk, I didn’t notice you’d already made the point about the drain hole.)
The innards of the silencer are mild steel and rot through at the base so the gases can blow out of the gap around the pipe where it enters the stainless can. You may be able to bodge it by squishing in as much high temperature silicone sealant as possible. I got a couple of extra years life out of mine that way.
Having said that, I doubt it’s the cause of your running issue which sounds much more like an electrical problem to me.
What should I look at electrically, like the ECU and fuses? The bike does want to start though indoors, but is very hesitant in the cold like it's stalling and putting out a couple of rpm. Wouldn't an electrical fault prevent bump starts too?

If you can't wait until tomorrow, and you have time on your hands, why not remove the air filter and see if it all springs to life?
I would adjust the carb screws back to standard settings first.
Don't ride without it in as you will probably cause further issues.
Worth checking the TPS and seeing if that's all sweet and in the correct position as well if you're looking for electrical issues, 'cos a faulty unit can play havoc.
As mentioned before, you need to do things one at a time, and right now I would suggest not doing anything until the new air filter is in, 'cos that could be the heart of the problem.
