The float could be stuck open in the carburetor, causing the leak. The carburetor leak needs to be fixed, this could be all of the problems, it also causes a fire hazard.

There are several reasons there can be a leak. However, you will want to take the carburetor apart for any leak - purchase the carburetor kit and carefully take it apart. Use the rebuild kit to replace gaskets, etc. and when you put it back together, the leak will also be fixed. Do not use gasket sealer on the carburetor.
