I have a year 2000 15 hp 4 stroke that overheated due to a broken impeller some years ago. I have since had a problem with what I think is water in the engine oil. After running it for 2 hours trolling the engine oil developes a butterscotchy yellow color. I don't use it a lot or I would have fixed it long ago. Question is, what is the most likely problem? Head gasket, cracked block. Anything else? Can I test it somehow to know for sure?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. I don't want to take it to a dealer at $175/hour if I can help it. Probably would not get it back for a month at this time of year.
