I have a YSM8 engine that appears to be leaking oil. It seems to leak only when running but I haven't completely ruled out a slow constant leak. The bottom of the engine sat in fresh (rain) water for an unknown but probably long period of time leading me to believe that one or more gaskets could have rotted and failed. I have looked at the manual to see where the most likely areas would be but that didn't yield any obvious things to look at.
Does anyone have any experience with this engine that might be able to suggest a good way of sorting this out short of pulling the motor? access from the front and left side of the engine is ok. The right side and back are difficult.
