Gas out TBI?

Going to try to explain this as best as possible. On my drivers side TBI, where the linkage for the throtel (spelled right?) goes into the TBI, I am getting gas leaking out of it. Am I right or is it coming from higher up. Need help urgetnt please!

Throttle.

And the only place gas SHOULD be coming out of is of course the injectors.. Check to see if there's any cracks in the metal, which would really really suck... Hopefully though you just have a bad gasket somewhere.

Sometimes gasoline can leak around the throttle shaft, especially if it's worn. A small amount of leakage is somewhat normal.

Would this cause the car not to start though? It cranks but does not turn over.

The car started fine today and no gas was leaking from the TBI. Must be one of those things.
