Sums it up to begin with. Beyond that you get expensive with things like cracked block !!

Could be water or could be raw fuel, my 15 looked like water then I figured out there was a stuck open reed.

It does seal tight against the powerhead, there is a water inlet at the bottom of the powerhead, right beside the exhaust which of course leads to the bottom cylinder.
