Well, dismantled the carburetor which is a Xenith 2, a recent rebuild and the height of the float from the carburetor it said it 5/8 of an inch. Cleaned all the jets. The fuel leak is a slow dripping only occurs after you shut the car off and last a minute or so. This is the exact same problem I experienced with my tillison carburetor before I replaced it. I very well may add a shim under the bowl to lower it a tad in the future, should this become a serious problem.
