Carburetor fuel leakage is almost ALWAYS caused by a worn or damaged needle and seat.
I just replaced the needle&seat But it turned out to be a leak in the float. Remove the float and shake it next to your ear if you hear anything in there it's most likely fuel inside that will make the float sink.

A Toro 38435 is a snowthrower manufactured from 1997 to 1999.
Well, this is an 8HP 24" snowthrower and has a 5 digit model that i think is 38053. See link below:

This is typically caused by a stuck or faulty float valve in the carburetor. Usually a good carburetor cleaning will take care of it. At the worst you will need to replace the carburetor.

The idle on a Toro push mower can be adjusted by turning the screw located on the carburetor. Turn the screw to the right to gain idle speed and turn the screw to the left to diminish idle speed.

Probably a clogged jet in the carburetor. Could be the fuel filter. Check the vent hole on top of the gas cap. Some gas caps have a small hole in the center that gets clogged. I'd bet it's the carburetor.
"Toro" is the Spanish word for "bull". The phrase means "Bull, bull, bull".
