I have a 1972 Evinrude 40 hp (a bunch of you just helped get my no start issue resolved). Got it running and now there is a bit of a manifold leak here. Is there an easy fix without pulling the entire front off?

I can see a little vapor of some kind puffing out there and every little while I get a pretty good burst out of that spot. Kind of like a backfire.
