Welcome to Iboats!
Sea Kings were made by the Gale division of OMC. Unfortunately, the earlier 5hp engines were fairly different from the engines in their better known divisions, Johnson and Evinrude.

Have a look at this article:

What parts are you after?

You mean up by the engine? If that's so it's just engine exhaust and unburnt fuel/oil. Unfortunately I have no diagram for that. But do try asking over at AOMCI.org.

I do have a '51 lower unit parts list though, so if it is actually the lower unit that's leaking fire me an email at paul.moir@gmail.com

That's one of the most solid little 5 hp's that Gale/OMC ever made. Acme Outboards has a service guide/manual for it, on CD.
