Default s&s super e gas leak

i have gas leaking out of bellows on on top of the throttle push rod on my s&s super e carb, changed out the diaphragm but still got the same problem, can't think of anywhere else it could be coming from, any ideas?

Check the float level is correct and make sure the needle isn't stuck or gunk is obstructing it from sealing.

Did you just rebuild the carb? Did you install the check ***** in the accelerator pump properly?
