That appears to be starting from the port side hinge pin drilling in the bell housing. Replace it.

Depending on serial number, a new housing is $650 or $850, and probably about 2 or 3 hours labour.

Agree, replace it
Go to Offshore Only and contact Sick Stringer, he has all kinds of good used parts, and he is on the east coast
