I suppose it's possible that the fuel bowl housing is cracked but I'd put that near the bottom of the list of possibilities. EVERY joint in that system is prone to leakage. I'd wipe the bowl and housing (and the joint at the tank) VERY clean, then see exactly where the fuel is leaking from. Often it's from more than one place.
Permatex (the type that stays soft) is very good at sealing thread to thread connections (that's what it's for). Fresh rubber gaskets are too. My O leaked like a sieve, and it took a complete remove and clean and seal carefully of every piece to get it to seal.
Gas is really good at leaking from one place and appearing to leak from another.
