Hi Folks - this past weekend i noticed sheen in water after boat would come to stop and something slowly dripping from upper part of motor. Took the lower covers off when i got it home, sprayed some degreaser in the lower cowl and cleaned it up. This morning upon careful inspection i saw this weird rubbery material hanging down under the motor which looked like a gasket that was coming out? I have no idea how this would suddenly happen but there is oil around that gap now. If i spray degreaser from above at the bolt pictured in the second pic, i get degreaser/oil coming quite quickly from the gap so something doesn't seem right. Is this an important seal i.e. really sealing oil to engine or just a seal to keep crap from dripping out of the lower cowl?
If someone can please help that would be great. I suspect if this is the oil pan gasket, this is a super complex repair beyond my DIY skills
Could it be caulked?
