Hey guys, I noticed the other day after flying a slow drip of fuel from the back of my cowling. I looked up underneath and noticed it is a very slow drip coming from the corner of the Carb Box. It’s a very slow drip. I am not sure where it is coming from though. It is leaking what seems to be on top of the Carb box, then building up enough to slowly drip from where the red circle in the pic is. The Plane runs fine and when I cut the engine with the Fuel off switch it doesn't happen, but when I cut the engine with the Mags it does. (I'm assuming it is slowly leaking from the carb bowl?). Anyone have something similar happen? (Stromberg Carb)
