I've got an 85 H31 with the trusty old 2GMF (the old 13hp version) and sail on the Chesapeake Bay. I've noticed a bit of an oil leak coming from what appears to be a bulging (?) gasket that separates the front housing (flywheel) from the bulk of the engine. I ran the engine for about 20 hours over a week long cruise and probably "lost" (sopped up by a oil pad) about a cup or so of oil. Anyone out there ever had a similar problem and was housing removal/gasket replacement/housing remounting a problem? If it isn't relatively easy, I'm just going to go to my local Yanmar dealer and get it fixed there. I'd rather pay him than spend a lot of time "fixing" it and then find out I screwed it up and have to have him do the work anyway (please, don't anybody tell my wife I said that!). Any input would be appreciated.
