Hi,
I noticed after Spring launching that the oil in the engine had turned a greyish color. I put in fresh oil and after running it a number of times, it has turned that way again and is not as viscous as it should be. It is also oozing oil out of the parallel pin on the top of the engine (see pic of greyish oil leaking). When running the engine, I do not see any liquid dripping from the engine and I watched closely at the impeller pump and it seems to be running OK with no external leaks. I'm guessing water is mixing in with the oil somewhere. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem might be?
Thanks so much for your input!
