Help with Holley fuel leak

I was hoping someone could tell them me how to fix a small fuel leak, this is not my actual carb, just one close to it. I have a small amount of fuel leaking from around the small (approx. 3/8") disc i've circled in the pic. I just re-installed the carb. after having it re-built and have a call into the shop (in NJ) but usually takes a day or two for them to call back. I was hoping there might be an easy fix i could do this weekend so i don't have to ship it back to them...., Any help would be appreciated, thanks

oh, other than the small leak, it ran great

This core plug is installed from the factory and isn't meant to be removed.
You can seal it with JB Water Weld epoxy.

Re: Help with Holley fuel leak

ok, i'll try that. Mines a little different than the photo, mine does not have the stainless ring around it, the housing is kinda bent down slightly holding the plug in. looks like they removed both of them during the rebuild, but maybe not.

thanks, it's amazing what you can fix with JB weld

Carb shop probably removed it during rebuild...some idiots should stick to sewing or gardening.
