Yeah I've opened the tank before, not the easiest but I have it open again. Which one of the two lines is the overflow line? I see them both but neither seems to be corroded.

I believe the line CLOSEST TO you (when assembled and you on the bike), is the OVERFLOW. (it's at the lowest part under the cap should you over fill).
***EITHER line can cause your issue.**
In any event, you need to find the leak to know WHERE IT needs to be replaced.
If you have an air compressor, you can pressurize one tube, spray with soapy water and looks for bubbles..
If no compressor, plug one end (or have an extra finger close off one end of the hose), then get some water IN THAT TUBE and see where it leaks.
*If the leak is super small, you could probably have a fuel tank repair or radiator repair business BRAZE the hole shut in the leaky line..
AS you posted the leak leaves you with about a half tank of fuel, your leak should be about dead center of one of the those lines.
