"I have an oil leak that increases when the engine is tilted up. When I drained the oil to trouble shoot I found significant water intrusion into the oil pan. When I had the engine tilted up to remove the gear and extension cases, oil was coming from the area that the vertical shaft goes into. I think it may be one, or a combination of the following: the mount case water seal, mount case gasket, oil pan gasket, or the head gasket. Oil was only present along the path of the vertical shaft and the exhaust tube was dry. I have all gaskets on hand but don’t want to go for the head gasket unless I have to. Any ideas?"
