Fuel leak Holley 650 dp sendary float screw

I started my car for the first time in a couple months today, I noticed I have fuel coming up from the float adjustment screw on my secondary fuel bowl, is this as simple as the float level being set too high or do I have bigger problems? I rebuilt the carb about a year ago or so and I thought I had the float level set properly.. I guess I'll pull it apart and take a look, just looking for some suggestions, is there anything else it could be? I had it running quite a bit since I rebuilt it, this is the first time it's leaked..

My guess would be the gasket under the locking nut. You should check the float level just to make sure its not set too high.

Float was stuck. Can't say I recall a gasket being under it honestly.. problem fixed.
