I have no idea why your carburetor leaks gas. For starters, I have no idea what type of engine you have. If it is a car, it is an old one since you do not have fuel injection. Maybe you should clean the grease and grime that has built up over the last 20 years off your carburetor and engine. Next, take a wrench, not a pair of pliers, and tighten the connections. They may have come loose. Now start your engine and try to see if you can tell where the gas might be leaking. Take the air filter off your carburetor.
If it was not a loose connection and is not a leaking tube that you can replace then you have done all you can do and need to take it to a regular mechanic.
