engine oil leak

[Haw'n Fisherman]

I have a suzuki DF140 outboard with 400+ hours on it, Went fishing when my oil indicator light came on. Check the oil level and was completly empty. Shutdown came in with my 15 hp kicker. lucky it was a calm day. I changed oil and filter about 2 months ago. Flushed motor and noticed oil mixed with water coming out of exhaust. Dealer is out of town. anybody familiar with this problem?

Funny thing!

I have a Johnson 140 04, same outboard. not more than 150 hours.

oil is leaking from the top crankshaft oilseal under flywheel.

Crankcase is covered in thin oil film.

Yes I folowed the Manual specs. Going out soon to see how fast the leak is, taking lots of spare oil.
