Ozz,

That is a common problem with Quadrajet carbs. In the bottom of the float bowl there are two passages that are sealed with lead plugs.
These will leak and the float bowl will drain empty. The best fix that I have come up with is what is called a super gasket. It is just a hard foam gasket that fits between the pass plate and the bottom of the float bowl. Any good automotive parts store should now about this and help you out. You do have to take the carb off and take apart. Good time to rebuild.
