There is seepage around the bolt, and above just underneath the fuel inlet.This is happening on the secondary side.

I went to Lowes and got nylon washers to replace the paper. Work better and don't wear out with repeated removal and installation.

The bowl could be warped or cracked. You'd have to take it off and take off the accelerator pump to rule out the other possibilities.
I forget the size of the washer. I took a bowl bolt with me and found one that fit around the shank but didn't go beyond the head shoulder. Cost less than Holley's paper gaskets.

Moroso makes a nylon gasket set for Holleys. It comes with needle and seat gaskets and the bowl bolt gaskets. My only complaint is that you have to tighten them down more to get them not to leak.
