Maybe, but I have not seen a Maple just leak sap. If the tree is injured or drilled, then sap will flow.
In your picture, the bright metal in the fitting is the level tab on the float. You can see its worn. If it wears a lot or the tab bends, the float level will no longer be adjusted for the correct level.
Us'en oil burner folks dont deal with floats and needles ha ha ha
