This would be a good time to remove the carb and a watch it on the bench. likely no part of the engine is aggravating this condition, so suggest pulling it off and watching for the drips. If it is disappearing that fast and there is no external leak, it has to be going into the manifold.

Bench it, put a taper punch in the vise and place a carb mounting hole over the punch. lay some rags under it for the mess and grab a good flashlight. Try to keep it level, so as not to just have it dump out of the main jet.

Got to be dripping from somewhere.

Only caveat would be if it is a fracture that opens up when the base is bolted down, but that is a long shot.

Once you see the drip, follow that circuit backwards till you find the source.

That's how I would do it anyway.

Hope it helps a little.
