I have an old 70 hp Johnson that I noticed gas leaking from into the lake, I opened the housing and started it then noticed that fuel was spitting out of a hole behind the fuel filter housing. This hole appears to be there for a reason but this fuel leakage just started this season (I don't recall seeing so much fuel in the water before). Is this some kind of overflow? any advice would be great as this motor is already a pig for fuel, I can't afford to waste gas or pollute our great Canadian lakes.<br />Thanks,<br />Eddie neitzel
