It could also be the jet wells, where those jets screw in, if you take the carb apart and flip the bowl so you can see the underside you will see two little round bumps, they are bowls that are epoxied to the main body, the epoxy gets old and breaks down, clean off the loose epoxy and smear a layer of JB weld or seal all around it let it dry completely. you can test the jet wels by simply puting gas,water, exc.. in it and watching for drips.

This is most likely your cause. It can look OK but still leak. If you can't get them off just sand off the excess, rough up plastic and apply a thin line of JB Weld Epoxy all the way around the jet wells.
