Rochester B leaking between bowl and horn...

I rebuilt the carb about a year ago, torqued the screws attaching the horn to the bowl to 70 in-lbs, and haven’t had any problems until today (at least noticeable problems). There was a bit of gas around the gasket (I smelled it before I found it)...The screws weren’t at 70 in-lbs - I re-torqued them and they turned maybe 20 -30 degrees before they were at 70 in-lbs. Is it typical for these carbs to loosen up like that over time?
