Default HELP carb leak

I have a 4779 holly that for some reason decided to leak fuel all over my intake just from sitting a few days.I did go through it about a week ago.It had a stumble in it when going wot on the trans break.After pulling it off and tearing it down I found a few problems.The main body to base plate gasket was too small,the gasket was covering part of the venturies,It had a 25 primary squirter and 37 secondary,It had 76 jets in the front and 82 rear.So I squared the jets at 82 and put the right gasket in.I didn't touch the pumps on it.Set the floats and it ran great.So it set for a few days and I went to start it.Flooded it and fowled the plugs.Don't know how.Last night I pulled the hood off and saw fuel all over the intake and around the base plate and main body.Any idea what happened?
