The 30VE1 rebuild kit I had from Carburetor Hospital contained a gasket to fit between carb body and top of bowl, however I think the float and needle valve should maintain the fuel level well below the top of the bowl rendering this a "nice to have" rather than an essential. From memory it is 0.4 mm thick, or .010" in old money.
I recall reading somewhere about an emulsion block becoming porous, which might just explain your leak if the float and needle valve are working correctly.
