" I have an older 50hp Evinrud

" I have an older 50hp Evinrude with an electric motor lift manufactured by Prestolite. The ram is mounted vertically with a plug on the lower part of the ram, I assume to drain oil. On the right side of the unit is an allen plug that says oil fill, so I filled it to that level. On the front and lower is another allen plug that I am not sure what it is for. No oil is present in there and you can see the end of the motor when looking in. How do you service this unit? I drained oil from the plug on the bottom front of the ram and filled by adding oil in the top allen hole to its level. There are six bolts holding the pan and electric motor to the ram. It leaks between the pan and the ram. Are there seals or gaskets available for this? or can I take it apart there and make a gasket or is there more involved inside? Thanks "
