" Help in going crazy!Ihave"98"200SW Yamaha Just replaced the powerhead w/a rebuilt unit. after only 3hrs.noticed oil leaking on the outside from just below the powerhead all the way down the lower unit.Inside engine compartment is nice and dry.Running rich on oil during break in.Might this be the problem,or a problem w/the rear oil seal? Thanks "

sounds like a damaged

sounds like a damaged or missing powerhead base gasket. Did you replace the powerhead yourself? If not id be going back to whoever did.
 
" Thanks for the info Tonyaus

" Thanks for the info Tonyaus . Powerhead was installed by a Yamaha dealer he said not sure what the problem is. If it still leaks after break in period take back to him.All I can say is after all the money I've spent on this thing,this will be the first and last outboard I'll ever buy.I'm just going to stick to good old i/o.
