If the screw is tight the gas is probably coming from the overflow tube in the carb bowl. The float might be sticking or there might be some dirt keeping the valve from seating. It's fairly easy to take apart the carb and give it a good cleaning. Does it leak all the time or leak for a while and then stop?
Had the same problem on my 2000 450, After cleaning carb it still leaked from vent line. I cleanned (flushed) the gas tank and have had no further problems
