So I had the carb rebuilt over the summer. I notice that I have to trickle some fuel down the carb ,after a few days. Notice fuel on the intake manifold around the base plate area /intake manifold. Can that be sealed up / or do I need a new carb/?[V][V][V][V]

often that "leak" is fuel that evaporates out of the bowls on heat soak, makes its way into the throttle area, condenses, sits on the throttle plates, and runs out the shafts. Really the only fix is to rebush the throttle body.
Or I could be completely off base on this one...
I don't know that there is any way to keep the fuel from evaporating out of the bowls when the car sits, at least to some extent. However if you have a strong fuel pump it shouldn't take long to get it to fire on just the starter.
