hi, i have a 1988 force 50 hp outboard that I've been working on and running for about five years and I'm stumped. I took the boat out on the water today and when I pulled it out of the water I notice a little bit of oil in the water pump intake screen. I've noticed this before and I thought it needed lower unit gaskets replaced which I replaced. I am 90% sure that The gasket job was perfect. My question is did I miss something other than the lower unit gasket set. Is there a set of gaskets and o rings in the upper part of the lower unit that needs to be replaced or should I look at this job again? I'll try to post more info in the morning as well as some photos. Thanks in advance.
