1974 DT 175 works and then doesn´t work

Just bought a 1974 DT 175. Cleaned the whole carb. jets, needle valve and seat, etc etc.. When I put it back together started right up. I have notice after I walk away for a few minutes the over flow (bottom of the carb bowl) leaks a slow constant gas leak. If I take the carb off and drain the gas out of the carb and put it back together it will start. I would think it is the float. I have 2 floats and they both do the same, also I have seated it to spec. .079.
Also a complete different issue, by the kick start, I think it is the autolube, under the yamaha writing on the engine 2 small weep holes keep leaking. any suggestions
thank you
I love this site!!!
