Fuel leaking from a carburetor can occur due to several reasons, including a stuck float that prevents it from closing properly, a damaged or worn needle and seat assembly, or a clogged fuel line causing pressure buildup. When the float is stuck, it allows fuel to overflow into the carburetor and leak out. Additionally, a faulty gasket or seal can lead to leaks when the engine is running or even when it's off. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent these issues.

From the factory the only fuel filter on it is installed in the carb. Remove the fuel line from the carb. At that same location, remove that housing on the front of the carb. It's the large nut. The fuel filter is located in that housing. If it's not a "stock" car and running a Q-jet then an aftermarket one can be installed just about anywhere.
