Hi all

My motor was starving for gas once I hit just past 3/4 throttle. I pulled off the cowling and gave the bulb a few pumps and could see a lot gas leaking from the low pressure fuel pump. Replaced pump and and no more leak there BUT when I pump the bulb I see gas leaking out of a small drainage hole at the bottom/front of the engine. Any ideas? I can't see where it's coming from. It's a 2003.

EDIT- is that little drainage hole possibly and overflow drainage? I was pumping the bulb like crazy to see if the fuel pump was leaking. Is the engine setup to dump fuel if too much is pumped in?

Thanks in advance.
