How many "shots" are you using on the primer, and what air temperature? Fuel dripping out the airbox certainly tells you that it's overprimed - I seem to recall an O-200 doesn't usually need much prime, especially on a warm day.

In fact on some engines it may be best not to prime at all except while cranking.
