Are you sure that is oil? On my carbs that tends to be old gas that yellows as it ages...

I'm with Charles. Ztherapy has parts kits that should address the nozzle leak. As for the mouth of the carb - oil can leak from the dampener if it is overflowing. It should stop once it is at the correct level. It is designed to do this in order to burn any extra oil in the dashpot.

That being said, I'd bet it's gas, too. Its also normal for their to be gas in the mouth, however, it should be sucked into the engine before it can age like that.

Fluids dripping off the nozzle is most assuredly fuel puddling up on top of the nozzle, either from the nozzles being set lower than the fuel level in the float bowl or the float levels being set too high. Now as I've said time and time again, unless you can think of anything that would have changed the float level, start by inching the nozzle up a tick. In a perfect world the static fuel level should be about a 11/16" below the top of the nozzle orifice....
