Hey wait a minute...I'm 45 ish lmao...yes also geriatric...I got it out by lifting front of engine a bit..wasn't fun either...I have it sliding in and out...
Alright I'm back at this portion of life again...tool slid in fine...will not come out for the life of me....yes I greased it...engine mounts are the same position as they were before engine out...
I'm still confused as to why it would randomly have an issue. The top cap was off for a few days kinda deal...there has never been a leak...don't get it...it's not even being used...when it was there was no leak
Not sure how it could develop a leak when it's been in my shop for about a week on the stand...only thing I did was pop the cap. I've ordered a new o ring for there and I will pressure test...oil in or out..I've never done it before
One more question on this topic....with cap off I could see gear oil up top...this morning I couldn't...it's coming out from behind the prop...never has had a leak..can't imagine having top cap off would make oil flow out
The square holes look just like an empty void kinda deal...reason I pulled cap is there was a water trickle coming out of the front between cap and outdrive...am I to find a hole in those cavities.
I've dug out all the corrosion from in there and see nothing important...when I took the top off I only saw 1 o ring but no gasket...is there supposed to be one
