Mine will do the same thing between the main and auxiliary tanks on the port side. The other side is fine. I know mine is because the valve leaks and it does so in any position so I am sure I have a bad o-ring or maybe some corrosion on a ball or 2.
Interestingly enough, my plane also sits starboard side low so when I am done flying I have to make sure the aux tank is half full or less, otherwise the fuel will go out the aux tank overflow. Not a problem when flying weekly, but when it sits for extended periods in the winter weather, then there is the potential to lose fuel |

Ditto. I had fuel seeping from one tank to the other. Valve wasn’t providing positive shut off of tanks. I also couldn’t get shut off during fuel strainer servicing. You can try draining your fuel strainer with valve in off position. If it continues to dribble, absolutely your valve is not closing off a tank. I’ve posted here how to rebuild valve. I’m an E model with main and aux tanks. The G and later models have simplified fuel system. I might guess the valve made by same people? And therefore what I posted applies to those as well. Could never find anyone who would service them.
