Looking at a 914 this weekend and the owner sent me these shots of the engine. The Carbs look like serious gasket gas leakage - brown stains all down the sides.
is it a danger to drive the car with carb gaskets leaking out?   |

Run the fuel pump and see if the outside of the carbs gets wet.
I doubt the discoloration is a sign of significant fuel leakage. |

Yes it is, the exhaust is right under the tin below those carbs.
