Leaking float screw?

I have a leak that appears to be coming from the screw under the float on my snowblower. Ariens ST824 Does anyone know what I need to do to fix it? |

Your problem could be one of two things..... The gasget for the bowl nut/jet is bad (not likely) ...or the bowl (aluminum) has a pinhole rotted through... Both easy fixes... if that is what it is.. This is a Tecumseh engine on this model right? Friiy |

Not sure what the motor is. It's a transplant. But it appears to me that it leaks where the screw,with a spring on it, enters the bottom of the float bowl. |
