I don't have the year or SS# at the moment but its @ late 90's 8HP Honda 4 stroke motor by my estimate. I use it for a kicker motor for fishing.
Motor started acting up and died went back to check it and noticed milky oil coming out of cowling drain hole. I shut it down and went to launch.
Looked at it closer when I got home looks like there is no oil left in the crank case and there is milky oil all inside the cowling.
Planned on draining what is left of oil and adding new and running it in fresh water and see where it might be coming from.
Posted here for some advice on what I should do next and what to look for.
I am guessing it might be some head gasket or something to that affect that's gone bad in the cooling system. I am not sure off hand. I just want to get some clean oil in there since its been mixed with salt water to help protect the innards.
Ill post later with year and SS# and possible pics to help with diagnosis.
Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.
