Why do I have fuel leaking into the lake after I shut the engine off? Seems to me that it is coming from the exhaust. Is that normal? I've taken off the cover and don't see any leaks from the carb.
Thanks in advance!

It’s not that uncommon on a motor of that age. Unburnt fuel and oil makes it way out the exhaust.
Any pic of the slick to see how much your talking about?

Thanks for the responses! The tank is vented. Next time out with this outboard, I’ll take a pick of the slick and post.
