Drain screw not seating, or some crap in the needle and seat causing an overflow.

The float level could be slightly out of adjustment as well.
 
Should have a tube on it.

If I am thinking right, that nipple marries with the bowl overflow. Or am I thinking of a different carb?

If it drips, the carb needs a clean because something is not quite right.
 
the tube is to let the fuel drain on the ground, not the quad. that is really the only purpose. just need to get it down past the swingarm
 
Theres a thread on here about fixing leaky carbs. Worst case you need a rebuild kit, theyre like 13 bucks
