Hello everyone,

I have been having an issue with an air leak when I try to go full out on my motor, I was working on it today and please note the motor has been in the up position for about a week. When I was trying to figure out the leak I out the motor down in the run position and fuel started leaking out of the air intake cover at the bottom. My question is could this be the source of my overall air leak and secondly how did the gas get there?? Do I have a bigger issue??
