Hello, I'm working on this 60hp engine that is leaking oil out of the carb throats. Dealer says VRO pump is cracked. I have no external oil leak. How does the oil get to the carbs? Condition is worse with motor raised and engine is off. If I opt to pre-mix oil and gas, what needs to be done? Can I remove the oil pump linkage to the bottom carb, take the oil tank off, and plug the suction line?

Thanks in advance.
