When I was tightening the air filter down onto the throttle body today I noticed the thin gasket under the TBI cover (that encircled it) was really wet and bubbling out gasoline along that edge as it was getting squeezed down. upon closer inspection (TBI cover off) there is a good amount of slickness all over the TBI. I don't remember it being like this. How wet should it be inside there?

It's probably something i wouldn't have taken too much notice of but I found a spark jumping from one of the spark plug wires today while working on something unrelated. I fixed that grounding issue and there's no more random electrical arcs.

But gas leaking from under the TBI cover near arcing jolts of raw electricity doesn't seem like the best thing to have going on.

Thoughts?
