Sounds like there's 2 problems here:
1 - Fuel dripping from the carb and from the sediment bulb shutoff handle says the sediment bulb is worn out. Replacing with complete new bulb assembly will cure that.

Could be junk caught in the needle valve, a worn out needle, float level set to high, or a rubbing or gas-logged float. And gas leaking around the carb gasket means either the screws that hold the two halves together are loose, the gasket is bad, or (unlikely) there's a crack in the upper part of the bowl casting.
