No....Does not leak until its running....It will run fine..Then bog down and start to dump the fuel out of the bowls

Is the fuel dumping out the sight hole on the side of the bowl?

no its only got a stock fuel pump....and the fuel is leaking at the gaskits..I just cant figure it out....When i say i rebuilt it all i did was put new float bowl gaskits...And metering block gaskit and the check valve "umbrella" and the actuator....And its still dumping...no warps no cracks...And the bolts wear done at 80inch lbs in a criss cross...Tomorrow I'm going to get the non stick gaskits it came with and see what it does

Some holley and many edelbrock carbs had issues with the metal for awhile, they had mysterious fuel leaks that would show up after awhile, and nothing would fix it..Most people bought a new carb, some fought with the respective company to try to get replacements, but a lot were off-warranty. Yours may fall into this category.
