Advice PLEASE for victa vantage fuel leak?

I have a Victa Vantage lawn mower and it is leaking fuel. I have replaced the o-ring in the primer plate as this was perished. I thought the problem would be solved, but it is still leaking from this section. Would this be a problem with something else or with the carby?? Does anyone have a link or pictures themselves of the assembley of this part?? I have been unable to find any web pages on the assembly of this, troubleshooting, or much else for victa lawnmowers. I would like to be able to fix it myself as I am unable to afford to have it fixed. Thanks in advance if you are able to help me:)

Same prob as above for me. Can anyone help? My prob is that the float seems stuck open. I turn the fuel valve open and the fuel just runs out. Obviously it is not getting fuel to the cylinders. Please let me know if you figured it out

try run a ring of grease around the o ring, eventually the 2 stroke oil should gum up the o ring a bit.

SORRY!!!
I forgot to mention that it starts leaking when I push the primer button once. When I turn off the petrol tap, the leak will stop when the petrol has finished leaking.
