Greetings,
I've got 25hp Mercury that is leaking oil (see pictures). You can also see a bolt head that appears to have dropped down and now visible (see pics). I can push the bolt up freely and it appears to have "eating" it way almost all the way through outer cover (there is just a very thin layer remaining at the bolt head)

I can't find the serial number but A990205 is stamped on the freeze plug.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!!

Nobody has any suggestions? I really hate to run it for fear of damaging something due to low oil. I figured somebody has seen a similar problems.

Thanks Again!
