    You'll probably need to pull the motor as was said, 99% of the time that's the only way to get to it. there's an O ring in there but you should check to mahe sure the mating surfaces are ok, I had one that was corroding and needed to replace the Y pipe

    I don't know where your located but I have found that a marine salvage yard is a good place to start. Find a lower unit that's locked up or bent shaft or something , get it as cheap as you can then strip it down as long as the housing you need is not damaged

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GL water on all spark plugs, and engine stalls due to high oil level or hydrolock.
