If you shut the gas valve off, and it eventually stops leaking, the shutoff is good and possibly your; float valve is bad, or float is bad, sometimes the float valve wears a spot into the mating area of the float which causes the float valve to not seat correctly, and a few other possibilities.

If it is leaking and teh engine is warm/sitting, you are getting a pretty rich gas mixture the 1st minutes of the car running, might contribute to the stalling.

If it continues to leak with the gas valve off, both your gas valve and carb have issues.

Fix the carb, might solve the stalling.
