Bruce,

There are sources worth examining.

All connections in the fuel line, either metal tube joints or metal tube
to rubber hose, or block connector joints.

All fuel filter connections and seams.

The previously mentioned float bowl warped seams.

All carburetor screw seals that join parts of the carburetor to each
other may have fiber gasket seals on the thread shank.

Any small, hairline cracks in a fuel system component casting.

That small union between the fuel pump line and the line to the fuel
filter that resides just under the passenger's feet under the floorboard
at the firewall.

The joints at the fuel pump may allow leakage running down the metal
line to the engine compartment, just as the hoses and other parts of the
pump can.

Gasoline will find the small crack or hole, wherever it is.
