Hi are they leaking from the breather for the float chamber?
Best to check the fuel pressure going to the carbs, I ran 2psi to the bike carbs on my pinto engine zero. The pump on the engine will produce about 7psi as standard and this could be too much for the carbs to handle.
I also had problems with the fuel pushing past the needle valve in the float chamber until i lowered the fuel pressure with a pressure regulator.

Feeding fuel into the air/water pipes is a common mistake.
