Water in oil.

:confused: I have a Yamaha 6hp fourstroke. The engine is approx 3 years old and is "as new" with very little usage. While having the engine serviced recantly we found that water is getting into the sump.
Both the powerhead-to-leg and cylender head gaskets have been replaced, however, the problem still remains. My mechanic has run out of ideas, so if anyone has experienced this problem I would gladly like some davice.
 
Fairly common complaint on 4 stroke outboards.--------------causes include operation for short periods of time. Operation in cold water with no thermostat.-Storage in extremely damp areas.
