Re: carburetor is leaking from top gasket

When I was greasing the linkages, I noticed it was wet on and around the carburetor to suggest that this isn't the only time it has happened, maybe just not as bad.

1971 c10 with monojet carb.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Needle and seat may have stuck open by a piece of dirt or your float level is too high or both. That is where I would start.
