    Was the skeg removed when the motor was in for repairs? If it was, sealer has to be smeared around the outside of the screw holes to so it won’t leak oil out or water in. It sounds like it wasn’t sealed up properly.

    Thank you very much Mumbles! The gentleman repairing the original leak ( which he felt was a faulty gear case housing seal) was great but it did take him a long time to finish the repair and, I understand, as he had retired from doing OM. I believe I will look for an expert and get this fixed; TY , I know it is beyond my capabilities for sure 🙂 !!. Great insights and I am positive we will be back in the running for Spring fishing at Moosehead and Rangeley Lakes. I really appreciate your time and expertise, as well as all members on this GREAT forum.
