If it leaking from the junction of the float bowl to the body of the carb, then you need a new gasket.
If it's leaking from the overflow tube, or out the mouth of the carb, then it's a float problem.
Either the float level is set too high, the float is either "water logged" (absorbed too much fuel, weighing it down [not common on modern carbs, as they no longer use cork floats]), or the needle is not sealing in it's seat, either because the needle/seat is worn out, or there is some grit/gunk/junk caught in-between the two (a good reason for using an in-line fuel filter, rather than depend only on the piece of screen attached to the petcock inside the gas tank).

I'm guessing that it's coming out of the over flow hose? If it is then you need to pull the carb and remove the bowl then check to see if the needle in seat is stuck. if not you may need to adjust the float hight. If the fuel is coming from some where else then you may need a gasket of some type

try replaceing the carburator float gasket, if that doesn't wark, tighten all the screws that holt it all togather, (except the pilot screws).
