Sneaky Leak

I've inspected the Holley 4160 closely on car. The fuel levels are set correctly. No leaks from the bowls or the bowl screws. Nothing from the accelerator pump or fuel line. I thought perhaps the throttle shaft but it appears to sit below where the fuel is most obvious. The leak will dampen the carb-to-manifold gasket a bit at all four corners. Any suggestions?

BTW, while I've rebuilt the carb several times, I've never replaced the throttle body gasket.
