Gas leaking from motor somewhere

[tri-hull guy]

Hey guys , i have a 1989 Johnson 60 hp outboard. the problem is i mostly use it for fishing and lift the motor when i put the trolling motor down, when i do this i can see gas in the water. i have opened up the cowling but i cant really see any originating spot. has anyone else have this problem or any input. thanks in advance.

A lot of OBs leak fuel from the carbs when you tilt them up. It is normal for most of them.

...not to mention the unburnt fuel/oil mix in the exhaust. Thats a 2 stroke!
