There is supposed to be an O ring inside the air intake horn where it slips onto the carburetor:

It's normal for a little fuel to pool inside an updraft carb throat after engine shut down. The scavenge tube exists to extract that fuel into the intake manifold when the engine is running. However, it is not normal for fuel to leak out anywhere when the engine is running.
edit:
You think the inside of the carb looks clean? Looks like it's had a hard, wet life to me.
