So when I remove the Carb I would like to fix that at the same time. Is that Hard?
I bought my carb brand new so no rebuild kit necessary but I would think a rebuild kit just follow the instructions ans use the recommended tools and you'll be fine. Concerning your issue with oil can you tell where it's coming from? My only real suggestion I can give you is replace your gaskets and use a sealer for the intake manifold and use cork gaskets for the valve covers if you swap those out too but that's the best advice I can give you.

Hops it helps
