Threaded hole on bottom of Webers

Cleaning up my weber DCOE 45s and noticed there is a threaded hole on the bottom with nothing in there on the trumpet side.

The carbs do work fine but leak a bit of fuel, ive changed all the gaskets but wondered if maybe there is meant to be a screw in here. Ive looked at the exploded diagra, but its from the top so cant see anything. Rescued attachment 11092008.jpg

As above i dont remember ever having seen anything in that hole. Is it a blind hole then or open??

So where do the carbs leak fuel then?? You havent got sticking needle valves / floats have you meaning the carbs are overfilling?? Guess this is a possibility if the carbs have stood with fuel in them for a while
