motor runs PERFECT, but for some reason i have water in the oil, not the lower unit, the engine.
pulled plugs and foung a minute amount of moisture on #4 plug.
I suspect a head gasket, but this motor has NEVER been overheated, or neglected.
Are my suspisions right? it seems like a heck of alot of work to get that head off!!!
PLEASE HELP!
