A new motor will have a warranty
Take it back and have them work on it

If you take the heads off to replact the gaskets under them,I suggest you replacce the head gaskets also and clean any deposits in the water passages. If the head leaking has deposits in it then do both sides cost is minimal and satisfaction great. Have fun

Having the same problem with mine, the fuel is leaking out somewhere around the carbs and running out the back of the drain holes. Did u have any luck fixing the fuel leak?
