0g369283. Have the problem where the engine wouldn't run with the cowling on I detected some water leakage at the bottom part of the powerhead I removed the powerhead and replace all powerhead and middle section gaskets I replaced the studs and the correct nut reinstalled the power head. Engine starts up great and runs great until I put the cowling back on and then it dies. So I believe that means I have an exhaust leak in the top half somewhere actually on the Block or coming out the top oil seal. There is also oil dripping down from the top of the engine when it's running. Before I go out and buy a bunch of new parts can somebody give me some things to look at so I can try to narrow down the actual problem. As I say the engine runs good but with the cover on it dies.
