If your carb is leaking then there's a problem with the float needle and seat valve, or you may have a leaky float. Blaming it on "different gas" is an easy out; it takes years, not weeks, for ethanol to attack the seals in your carb. Plus most carburetors have very few places where fuel can leak out if the float is working properly.
Regardless, it is a very good habit to shut off the fuel if you have a gravity-feed system. Any leak can result in a tank full of gas leaking out on the ground or (worse) onto your shop floor. Put ten gallons of gas on your shop floor, add one cigarette and they'll hear you in the next county.
