Hello , im new here, not sure if there a post for this, but here we go. My carburetor is leaking from the bottom.. right where that screw is. How do I stop this?. I ordered a rebuild kit, cause these carburetors are expensive. Lol. Also anyone know where that wire goes ?. The one with the hook on it?. I circled the leak and the wire with the hook. Thank you for all the help.

Welcome from Colorado.
The float needs adjusting.
The wire holds the idle adjusting cable laying below the wire.

I could have said float setting needs checking; as once I too had gas running from the bowl drain after installing a different jet......$hit!
I removed the bowl and maybe bumped something causing the float to reposition, and the bowl stopped leaking without finding trash in the bowl or replacing the needle/seat parts.
With clean gas: If the needle/seat leak, gas runs into the engine; if the seat/needle are tight then pressure from the tank above forces gas out the overflow drain.
