sounds like you have a float that is stuck. when the float stcks down it allows more gas into the carb. you may need to pull the carb to clean the float needle and seat.

How do you fix a leaking carburetor on a Yamaha Blaster?

First it depends on where it is leaking and what is leaking. IF it is leaking fuel out the drain hose, then remove the shut off screw from the bottom of the float bowl. You can clean this out using carb cleaner with the straw. Carefully inspect and clean the shut off screw. I have polished these with ultra fine emery cloth. this should stop the overflow leaks. Also, you might want to pull the float bowl off and make sure the float is not stuck allowing fuel to continullay flow into the bowl. IF it is allow air to leak in, then check the carb top gasket and the intake boot for damage.

What is the float level on a 1982 Yamaha 650 maxim?

The "dry" setting is 17.5mm +/- 1mm from the base of the carb gasket surface (without gasket) to the center of the float (furthest point from the pivot point of the float). The "wet" setting is 3mm below the gasket base of the float bowl. to accomplish this you fit a hose to the bowl drain and loop the open end to extend above the float bowl/carb surface. Open the drain screw and measure the fluid level from the bottom of the main carb body.

How would you repair a 1994 Olds Acheiva that is leaking coolant from a drain connection on the firewall?

The only hose connections at the firewall that contain coolant are the connections at the heater core. You either have a loose clamp or the compression fitting between the steel and metal parts of the hose itself are leaking. If there is coolant leaking out of an drain at the bottom area of the firewall, there's a good chance that it's leaking from the heater core itself, through a drain pipe which is the same drain pipe that removes water condensation from the air conditioning.

What is the tolerance for the gas level in the float bowl of the carborator compared to the external mark on the bowl for a 1993 Yamaha 535 when measured with a clear hose attached to the bowl drain?

According to the Clymer service manual, "The fuel level should be 0.53-0.57 in. (13.5-14.5 mm) below the piston valve center mark on the float bowl." (The "piston valve center" is marked near the round protrusion on the back of the carb, the side with the fuel lines)

That hose is the drain. It can just end somewhere safe, below the motor and out of the way.
