Might help if you marked a decent photo where the fuel is leaking from. Probably not the easiest engien to clean and dry so you can find the leak but if you want good advice it needs doing.

 

Possibilities - leak from throttle spindle O ring (fairly common)

Leak from one of two or on a 1.8 possibly 3 bleed screws.

Leak from governor housing to pump body gasket.

Leak from inlet or outlet union

Leak from injector pipe union

Leak from pump end cover (regulating valve housing) gasket.
