Now that I have my motor up and running again I noticed that there seems to be small traces of fuel (or oil) coming out of the water discharge. I noticed that 2 years ago when I put the boat in storage and forgot about it. Could it be from changing the fuel pump and having gas in the bottom of the enging frame and it is pulling it up from the water around the intake? I was idling in the slip after a lot of work on the motor. Thanks
