Rodchester used "Detroit Adobe" in its castings and after many years develops porisity and seeps fuel. Not much can be done except replacing the bowl section with one that don't seep as much.

Also the gaskets can seep. I seal all gaskets with Permatex Avaition sealer. It cured the seeping through the gaskets anyway.
