Double checked for any cracks in tank. It's leaking from where petcock seals to tank. Plastic was starting to peel at bolt holes but I grounded everything even with 100 grit sand paper. Still leaks... What else can I try?

Sounds like it is just the gasket. Was it replaced?
The valve will eventually start to leak with older bikes. The rebuild kits are cheap.

Replace the petcock and oring. ( about $60) or go to Harbor Freight and buy a metric o ring kit for about $10.

Rockymountain sells generic peacock o-rings for cheap. You need a new o-ring my cr250 did the same thing until I replaced the o-ring.
And if you don't have a local HF or want to wait on mail order, just take the o ring into any of your local auto parts store and they will sale you a single o ring. You will have to pay 2 bucks probably but you could grab it anytime.
