Hopefully you can tighten it up. If it is a push through set up where the valve pushes through the grommet and that is all that seals it you will have to replace the grommet with a new one. Many small engine shops will have them or you may find one at an auto parts store. You will have to take the old one out and take it with you to match it up for size.

Try cleaning the carb out,(hog wash carb cleaner I use) the float may be stuck or the needle & seat.You may need a rebuild kit for the carb,about 12 bucks.hope this helps
Testimonial: "Good advice, thanks."
SOURCE: I have a portable generator that is leaking fuel
If the leak is: 1. in the fuel line it should be replaced. new lines with hose clamps. 2. If leak is from the carborator, the float may be stuck. Remove and inspect the float, being careful not to alter adjustments. Clean bowl with carb cleaner and replace. Be careful of the gasket installation. 3. The needle valve may need replacement. Check the tip for wear.
Alot of times somethig was in the tank and reached the needle and cleaning will solve the problem.

Take the old valve, called a petcock, to a local lawn mower repair shop and they should be able to help you.
