Take the bowl off and check the top of the bowl and the rim where it
seats, you may have a small bit of muck that is stopping it seal, or may
have a small nick out of it, i have seen gaskets for this not sure if
there a after market thing, never had to use one. be careful you don't
try to solve the leak by over doing the screws that hold it on, you
break a screw off and you will be in trouble.
Then ptfe around the brass screw as said before.

Hi there PTFE will work but you need to use PTFE for petrolium based

That brass colored thing is the carb float bowl. And
since he says it's leaking from the top, it's either
the nut on the bottom of the bowl is loose and needs
to be tightened or the gasket is shot. Putting the
engine model # into any of the small engine parts
sources online should turn up a part # for it. With
the part #, you also may be able to find it on Ebay or
locally.
