Default Mariner 115 fuel leak

Hello - My 1991 Mariner 115 hp has been running great this season but just noticed a fuel drip from the engine housing when we tilted engine in water. We took the boat out and it still runs OK, but fuel continues to leak. Any ideas on where this leak is coming from and obvious fixes? We aren't near a mechanic so would like to try and fix myself.
Thanks

Hi,
That is a fairly normal thing to have happen.
The attenuator plate cover gasket or recycling hose maybe leaking.
This is the black plastic cover in front of your carbs that you see when you take off the cover.
