Denny is the "weeping" liquid gas or something else? My guess is that it is water for humid air and the the air/gas mixture flowing thru the carb is cooling the base of the carb and this is just condensation. I am probably wrong but that is my guess.
I think you are right, at least in my case. What has been on mine is water.
jdl, could that white film be frost? I had issues for the longest time with my Carter YF frosting at the base. Finally was able to troubleshoot it and now only very occasionally and during the inclement weather does it frost very lightly.

Nope, not frost, if you run your finger through it, it sticks to your finger, but doesn't melt. I guess a better word is froth.
