First get a book of matches...........NO, just kidding..... :biggrin:
I think your leak is so slow that it is evaporating before it drips so you can't see a puddle.
The easy and obvious thing to check is the drain screw on the bottom of the carb where it connects to the drain hose. That screw should be tightly closed.
The next thing to check for is a cracked bowl or leaking gasket above the bowl.
I think there is an overflow tube inside the bowl that connects to the same point as the drain hose (but is NOT controlled by the drain screw). If that is leaking, it would appear in the drain hose too. (That is from memory and may NOT be present; might be another engine I say that on).
Good luck. Definitely something you should fix before you find it the HARD way !!! :skull:
P.S. Leaving it on PRIme for a few hours when it is cold and out of the wind might develop a few drops and point you right to the leak. Do NOT do this overnight in a closed garage as the fumes might go BOOM !!! :shocked:
