As previous poster stated, your float level is out of whack and needs adjusted. Refer to the service manual to see what level it is supposed to be set to and, once you set it properly, you should notice no leaking fuel.

It's always a good idea to thoroughly clean the carb and inspect the o-rings for wear or damage whenever you remove it.

problem solved

float ok but carb and petcock assembly very dirty. also the on/off/res flow was not turning off and. i cleaned the assembly and filters also cleaned carb and bowl. the gasket behind the selector for on off res had a small cut in it between two of the holes. i flipped the gasket over and tightened the spring plate up by increasing the bend just a little. a little o-ring lube and replaced everything and all is good... went for a short ride in the royal blue area ( TN ) and had no problems.
