I have the same issue with a B&B on 230 engine. If it sets more than a week the bowl gets low on fuel and starting is more difficult. The issue is evaporation. I have an electric pump/primer switch, and I can tell by the sound of the pump that it fills the bowl before I start the engine. If your carb. has a seep hole for adjusting the float, it's probably just evaporating out. If the carb was actually leaking out and into the engine, you would experience a flooding situation when starting.
