1984 Evinrude 15hp top= 100# bottom = 105#

OK so i just get done rebuilding the carb. and fire the motor up. I notice a little water on top of the head so i wipe it off. then i notice that the head was leaking a little water not much but a few drops. after the motor warmed up it stopped leaking.

Do I need to replace the head gasket now or can I wait until the end of the summer when I have a few more things that I want to get done to the motor?

Did you check the head bolts' for tightness? A head gasket should not leak anytime.
