Been getting worse over time.
Looks like hole right next to idle screw?

It's not actually a "leak" - the float bowl vent is nearby and gas fumes vent up and dry around the hole. Totally normal for Dellorto VHBs and nothing really to worry about. If it bothers you, spray some carb cleaner, Purple Power, Super Clean, etc. on an old toothbrush and scrub it away.

What he said...But... If gas is pouring out of the hole, the carb is flooding. Normally a stuck float or needle. A good tap on the bowel usually fixes it temporarly. A good cleaning and inspection is the best.

Good luck,
