I have a hope that it is the tank vent. I'll be checking that tonight.

Did you ever figure out the culprit? A bad valve and valve seat perhaps? I'm having the same issue, just rebuilt all carbs with new o-rings, valves and seats seamed fine. I set the float height properly, but it still is leaking.

I did buy new needle/seat valves all around just to be sure. No leaks. Im pretty sure the issue all along has been bits of rust and/or debris getting in between the needle and seat. Most likely my other needles/seats are fine. They show no signs of wear, anyways.
