    oil leak on 89 Force 125

    I changed the impeller last year and needles to say, I think I need to do it again because it does not work, (it overheats, does not spit water), at low idle speeds. But--- I now have an oil leak in the lower unit, especially when I tilt it. and yes I am getting water in there, any suggestions?
