Float needles / seats need to be cleaned, or needles need to be replaced and adjusted. Float bowls are filling too full because needles aren't sealing.

You didn't tear the gaskets or forget one?

Yes the gasket that is between the bowls and carb body. Is that where the leak is at, or maybe coming from one of the bolt holes in the bowl?
