Close the petcock and pull the carburetor.
Remove the bowl and clean it out with carb cleaner such as Berryman B12. Tye reason for the leak is the needle on the float is gunned up. Chances are the jets are gummy as well.
Just a matter of disassembly slowly and reassemble slowly, putting everything back precisely like it was.
Wear gloves and work in a ventilated area.
Drain your tank and wash it out as well.
No big deal really.
