After pondering this for a bit, I think that would be possible but only if the outside of the carb bowls are damp and dripping onto the engine case. If fuel is coming out of the overflow hoses than either the float is unable to stop the fuel flow due to debris as described by the OP or the float level is incorrect and allowing the bowl to overfill. A third possibility is a bad float, but that is rare compared to the other two issues.
