I have a 1946 Dodge that I have been working on and when I finally got it started recently, it also leaked fluid all over. It seemed that the needle valve was letting too much gas in the bowl and that it was overflowing through there. There appears to be hole to allow the extra gas out, which is where it was coming down onto the bottom on mine. Take the carb apart, clean it (I let mine soak overnight with carb cleaner), scrape loose junk off, then put it back together. I just used some liquid gasket stuff from Napa when I put it back together and now it doesn't leak. I am not sure how cheap the gaskets are, or how easy they are to find. there is a great store by me that stocks all sorts of stuff like that. If you have a hard time finding what you need, try them. It is Northwestern Auto in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
