Leaking coolant from choke body

  I seem to have a minor leak from the choke body of my 1.8 auto cabby. Hose changed so not hose. What is the best thing to do ?  Take off cover and try and seal with some sort of gasket seal ? If so can I get away without draining system ?. Change carb to Webber ?

if its leakign from the choke the seal between the 2 halves may have gone. you can remove it from the carb it wont leak any coolnt :) iirc you undo the bigger bolt in the middle then it splits in half

 Cheers Rubjonny, I have taken it apart and used gasket seal to try and sort it. Not sure if there was supposed to be a seal there but does not look like it. Hopefully this will cure.
