while letting my boat sit at a friends house he called me to say green two stroke oil leaking down onto the backside of the foot. i went and pulled the cover off and the black cover on the side. it looks like i may have a hose above the fuel line that goes back under the carb cover. is this a formed? hose or can i get some marine fuel hose to replace it with?motor is not tilted up but all the way down. this is the first time i have seen this! motor is a johnson oceanrunner 175 hp

Is the VRO still hooked up or are you premixing? Many times the airbox will elak out the excess oil that gets spitted out the carbs when you let it sit for a little while. If it is leaking at the VRO pump where your oil line hooks up, then you will need to fix the hose. I believe fuel emission hose will work on it fine.
