Just my tuppence worth on a couple of your issues, if you say the tyres are shot, this could be some of your handling issues, especially if they are squared off, makes dropping into a corner feel weird. Sounds like your carbs need a good clean, the leak could be something as simple as dirty float needles. Somebody else will be along soon with more answers.
