87 75 horse merc fuel leak?

[johninmo]

I am kinda new to boat motors so please forgive me I went out to start my boat for the first time this year and when I pumped my bulb tight each pump after that caused fuel to leak out of the casing where the alumininum piece that hooks to the fuel line that goes into the casing im not sure what it is called but I did take a picture and I hope it attaches is this normal?? I have never noticed it before by the way I still havent got it started could this have anything to do with it?

In one pic if you look real good you can actually see it dripping
Thanks
John

There is an "O" ring in there that is suppose to seal the connection. It is probably shot.
