Anyone ever remove an oil pan from a mid size Yamaha four stroke? My F80 is getting a little water in the oil and due to a previous water intrusion issue that I fought with on another outboard I'm trying to figure out how the oil pan is mounted.... in case I need to inspect/change it out. The bottom of the oil pan is lowest spot that I could have a leak right?
I am going to try to figure out a way to pressure test the lube system or the cooling system to see if I can audibly locate a leak before I disassemble. Then I'm going to start taking it apart and checking the cylinder head, cooling passages, gasket surfaces, and oil pan. Any suggestions or cautions regarding this?
There are no external oil leaks visible.... either in or out of the water. Any info, tips, or suggestions would be appreciated.
Already changed thermostats and pressure control valves and checked fuel pumps for leaks.
