Mariner 70 hp fuel drip

[Mark Overfelt]

Please forgive me if I am asking a question already dealt with numerous times before, but I am new to this sight, and fairly new to boating. My mariner 70 is around a 1977 model year. When I remove the case there is one carb visible, and there is fuel slowly dripping from a screw on the bottom when the engine is off. After a few minutes parked in a cove for fishing, I'll notice a little pool on the transom. any ideas? I probably need to de carb them anyway. What should I be looking for to fix? Thanks in advance
