Fuel leak Yamaha F100A

Not having much luck this season.

After running fuel drips out from the junction of the carb throat and the air intake box.

(I think it drips out here because it's running on the trailer and slightly tipped up)

It also leaked when the sun warmed the fuel tank and the breather was shut so some pressure built up.

The question is what is the cause.

Worn needle valve?

Engine also misfires a tiny bit above 2k rpm.

The pic shows it mid -drip - I can't upload a video. 1 drip every couple of seconds.

I can't trace a drip coming down the carbs - seems to be coming out of the bottom one.

I am happy to service the carbs and assume that will do it...?

Cheers
