OK, I changed the Plugs and Plug wires on my truck, and while doing so I
checked my carb as best I could. It seems I have a gasoline leak in my carb.
It's a 2 bbl Motocraft. I could be wrong, but there's a fluid that seems to
have seeped from the carb and it smells like gas. Could it be anything else?

What to do,

It might not be gas but I wouldn't lite a match to see .
Most likely it is time to rebuild your carb. Look for a seam (I dont know
anything about this particular carb). In that seam you will find a gasket
that is prolly old and dried out. A new one will be in your rebuild kit. Or
you can buy a new aftermarket carb. And Intake too i guess, because you have
a 2bbl carb on there.
k.p.
