Running Too Rich??

2 Days ago i did a vaccum hose job, took the double throtle off and changed clutch. I didn't drive it yesterday at all, but then today i took it for a drive and after a while, i noticed fuel smell.

At first i didn't think it was coming from my car, then later when i was on the stop light it came again, I ignored it again. Well now when i went to the store i started it again and i smelled fuel. I went outside and i saw that the catback was wet from the fuel.

What can cause this? I thought that because i removed double throtle i would run a little lean. Could there be something wrong with the hoses or something?
Also my car was resting for 2 weeks when i was changing all this stuff, but i did take it hard once when i finished all the job, i only didn't drive it yesterday for a whole day.

What should i look for? Please help.
Thanks
