Nasty mess of oil in he bilge....
Things I have done to try and find and solve it:
1) A while back, the tail shaft key broke..at that time I replaced the seals
and gaskets at the output side..and don't think this is where it is coming from.
2) I look at the front of the engine and don't see that it is coming from there either!
3) I have removed the entire oil pump assembly, replaced it with a plug, and
use that to fill the oil with a long funnel.
4) Made a thin metal oil pan and put it under the engine. I put some of that
white pad material in there....which does get oily.
I guess what I am asking is.....what are all the possible leak points for oil from this engine????
Frustrating that this semmingly simple problem has lasted for years!
Thx..
