The "spot" on the float arm is where the needle rides so it is worn smooth as it should be.

A "leaking spot" would be on the chamfer at the bottom of the seat on the inside where the needle sits OR the end of the needle itself is compromised.

The only other way fuel gets by that assembly is through the threads of the seat and/or the "sealing washer" for the seat.
