Had the same issue on my 147 recently. There's a cork washer in there. Tightened the packing nut on mine to near rounding it out and the seeping quit. From my research, a replacement needle set thru cub cadet would cost bout what a complete aftermarket sediment bowl setup costs. Seeing how mine is missing the screen and the bowl gasket is old dry cork too I may go that route.
