  • Oil leak

    well I pulled the power head and installed new oil pump and gasket. Still have the oil leak. Not bad but still about like it was. The sleeve on end of crank looked new. Oil film is coming out of skirt and down front of lower unit. Anyone have any ideas before I pull it again? This is a 2012 F150xa
    Thanks..

    yea.
    it is an oil leak.
    easy to spot an oil pump leak using MAR-EYEB-AL-LS.
    simply look at the drive shaft where it enters the pump, if it is wet it is an oil pump leak, if it is not wet it is probably not.
    then go to NAPA, get a can of oil dye.
    carefully was the engine with simple green.
    cap off the crankcase breather hose.
    run engine at a fast idle.
    use a black light and find the leak.
