The fuel is definitely dripping from the manifold drip tubes, not the 
float chamber tubes. If as Alan suggested that the float jets may be 
dirty or worn or the float level set incorrectly or Larry's suggestion 
of floats sinking, wouldn't the fuel be dripping out of the float 
chamber overflow pipes instead?
Thanks,
Elton

Fellow Listers,
I'm getting a small amount of fuel dripping out from the intake manifold
drip pipes from my BJ7 when idling. What causes that? The engine is
running well and it doesn't appear to be on the rich side.
Thanks,
Elton
