Here is a picture as they now come when new ...
That was my problem. Carbs were new but I fitted the cold start elimination kit which came with a new plate with no hole, so I fitted it. Noticed after putting the car away, a little time after they would be wet underneath at the rear. Carb to manifold was okay so realised it was seeping from the bottom of the plate. Put the original plate with hole back on and all okay. Have spoken to a few “specialists” about this and was surprised at lack of awareness.
